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 for the Precinct of Tichora, later called
Mackford, was John S. Vine, who signed his return on November 29, 1847. Vine's totals for
the precinct were 343 white males, 269 white females, 10 males of color, and 2 females of
color, for a total population of 624. The actual count from the entries on pages 9 through
12 of the Marquette County census is 622. Of note is that two households, headed by
Frances Leroy and Peter Leroy, were "colored.". 
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).
