Be sure you check the one you are looking for by first name also as some names I feel have the surname as the first name. Those listed as aliens are not explained but it is assumed they were people born in a foreign country. Some of on list lived in Fremont County in 1850. Walter Farwell, Fremont County Historian, contributed the notes on the 1850 Fremont Census. - Cay Merryman No page or line numbers appear on the original census. Page and line numbers have been assigned to indicate the enumeration order.
