Freestone County, Texas Censuses 1870 Census for Freestone Co., TX, Town of Fairfield, July 13, 1870, H. M. Majors, Ass't Marshal [census images: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DCZ9-5VD - 212 images] [WARNING - This 1870 census is the hardest to transcribe and understand of all of the Freestone County censuses. The census taker has bad handwriting and phonetic spelling. I encourage use of the images by looking at the transcription for anything even remotely like your ancestor's surname, then look at the image closely. Where the household numbers are placed do not always make sense. Known phonetic spellings in Freestone County surnames: "Orand" = pronounced "Arnd" "McEachern" = pronounced "Muhcan" "Folks" = pronounced "Fawlks" "Averyhart" = pronounced "Averyheart" "Tisdale" = pronounced "Tisdal" [] = blank, but expected some value ] *** IN PROCESS ****
