Sullivan County, PA 1850 Federal Census: Colley Township This Census was transcribed by Fred Merrick and proofread by F. Merrick for the USGenWeb Archives Census Project, http://www.usgwarchives.net/census/ Copyright 1999 by Fred Merrick ************************************************************************ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.

Small D often does not have a vertical line, looking more like a small A. Small Z in most cases looks like SE. For Example: Elizabeth often looks like Elise abeth. Double S is written old style, looking like FS. Small O and small A look very similar. A tail is sometimes added to the end of a name, looking like an S, usually after an A or D. Small H sometimes has a very short vertical, looking much like an N. In a number of places, spelling of last name varies within the same family. There are a number of places where the Dwelling and Family numbers are recorded on the wrong line. There are a couple of places where the sex is obviously wrong. There are many places where entries for Attending School, or Not Able to Read or Write are obviously on the wrong lines. All of these are mentioned in the Transcriber's Notes column. All entries double-checked, and in difficult cases, triple-checked. Where handwriting was difficult to read and spelling uncertain, entries were compared between 1850, 1860 and 1870 census records to determine the most probable spelling of names. Cross-references are mentioned in the Transcriber's Notes column. ********************************************************************************************************************** Census_Year 1850 Microfilm # 798 State PA County Sullivan Enumerated by William J.
