END OF TOWN OF WILLIAMSON CENSUS FOR 1870.

Censustaker C.P. Patterson's penmanship was neater and more legible than most, a pleasure to transcribe. However, several surnames were difficult to make out. If someone's name is totally off-base or misinterpreted, or a number was read wrong, please contact the site coordinators with the correction. It's advisable to take all online census transcriptions as a starting point and view the original census microfilm yourself.
