1855 STATE CENSUS
MACKFORD TOWNSHIP
Marquette (Green Lake) County, Wisconsin
Microfilm of the original records is available at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin library (Call No. 1855-1). 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 difficult to read, an (?) marker is inserted. Where characters are too faint or badly formed to be read at all, a (__) marker is also 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). Unlike the previous territorial census conducted in 1847, the census pages are not numbered. Unlike most other town clerks, however, Wilder totalled all of the preceding pages at the top of each new page, leaving no ambiguity about page sequence.
