IowaJones/US Census/Greenfield 1850

Greenfield Township

Greenfield Township was enumerated on 1 October 1850 by J. H. Robinson, Asst. Marshall. Microfilm is Series M432, Roll 185, Pages 371-374. People were to be listed according to "their usual place of abode on the first day of June 1850."

In this transcription by Janet Steif the dwelling number and family number columns have been consolidated as the enumerator didn't differentiate. Other unused columns have been eliminated.

The "M" column = "Married within the year."

The "S" column = "Attended school within the year."

The "L" column = "Persons over 20 years of age who cannot "read or write."

Music: "The Voice of By Gone Days," by Stephen Foster, 1850. From American Folksongs.
