Census Records For Highland Township

 

* * * 1840 Federal Census Of Highland Township * * *

This is the first Federal Census taken after Highland Township's formation in 1835 and so provides one of the earliest lists of the original pioneers.   In addition to the raw census data itself, this page includes notes and a concluding commentary.

* * * 1850 Federal Census Of Highland Township * * *

As is well known, the 1850 Census was the first to include the name of every person in a given household.  Unfortunately, the early handwriting is not always clear and errors are not uncommon.  This transcript thus includes supplemental notes which correct and/or clarify the original entries.
