1850 Castleton Twp., Barry Co., MI

The 1850 Federal census was taken in Castleton Sept. 18-19 by Henry Edgcomb.  There are 2 sets of page numbers added later, one in pencil beginning 241, and one stamped in ink beginning 122.  Both are listed here.  The capital letters "I" and "J" are written identically, so I've transcribed all middle initials as "J".  

Data supplied below is dwelling number, head of household's surname, family members' given name, age-birthplace.  Strays in the household are listed on a separate line.  "*" after a name indicates person married within the year.  

This is intended to be an index only, and it has not been proof-read by anyone else.  Please check the original for additional household information. -- Lynn Kenney, March 2002.
