[WED]Dyersville 1850 census, plus 1860 MN notes - sent again

[Mary Jackes]

I have previously sent a message giving information on this, but my emails
seem to be held up by the list server. Anyway, this is meant to be the
second of two emails.

Names and ages of individuals, all born in England unless otherwise
indicated; none of the adults recorded as illiterate; the dollar figure
gives the value of real estate owned; the two numbers identifying each
family are the census taker's counts of houses and families visited in the
district:-
