The 1847 Wisconsin territorial census recorded
heads of household, number of males, number of females, and total individuals in the
household on December 1, 1847. The census taker was Morgan L. Noble, although Fond du Lac
County census results were returned to the Secretary of the Territory by S. S. N. Fuller,
who signed as census taker. For the town of Rosendale in Fond du Lac County, 278 males and
211 females were identified, for a total population of 489. Note that in 1847, the town of
Rosendale also included the northern half of the present town of Sprinvale and the NW 1/4
of the present town of Lamartine, which were not separated from Rosendale until the
following year. 
Microfilm of the original records is available at the State Historical Society of
Wisconsin library (Call No. 1847-1). As illustrated, the records were hand written and in
many cases are open to interpretation. An attempt is made to record entries as written,
even when an entry is apparently in error. In cases where names are exceptionally
difficult to read, an (?) marker is inserted. Entries are offered in the order in which
they were recorded, because the census-taking sequence provides clues about where
individuals actually lived (for an illustration, see Fairwater 1853).
