Mott, a prominent attorney who lived in Auburn. For the most part, his handwriting is legible and the information seems to be as accurate as what was given to him. But occasionally information entered was obviously or possibly inaccurate. Where such occurs it is noted in the remarks field. Mr. Mott often used abbreviations for states which may not clearly identify the states intended. The following are the most common one to two letter abbreviations he used throughout all townships in DeKalb County. "Ia" or "I" - Indiana "Ky" - Kentucky "O" - Ohio "Md" - Maryland "NY" - New York "Pa" or "P" - Pennsylvania "Va" - Viginia "Vt" - Vermont ************************************************************************* Census_Year 1850 Microfilm # 432-9 State IN County DeKalb ---------------------Begin Actual Transcription--------------------- CENSUS YR: 1850 STATE or TERRITORY: IN COUNTY: DeKalb DIVISION: Auburn Township REEL NO: 142 PAGE NO: 206B REFERENCE: Enumerated on August 22, 1850 by Egbert B.
