This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mills county residents. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1832.1 Message Board Post: I believe that the enumerator of the 1850 Census for Fremont county spent much time between September 6 and September 12, 1850 in the area which--after the government surveys marked off ranges 42 west, 43 west, and 44 west--later fell into Lyons and Rawls township, Mills county. In the Fremont county 1850 Federal Census, cross-check those families with enumeration numbers between 90 and 181 with those families shown in the 1852 Mills county census for Lyons and Rawls township. This will give you an idea of how many of the early settlers in southern Mills county were enumerated in the 1850 Fremont county census. Is seems to me, that the enumerator was traveling north and south, and crossed and recrossed the Mills - Fremont county line a number of times during Sept. 6 and Sept. 12.

The Fremont county enumerator for the 1850 census spent several days in the southern part of present Mills county, and the 1850 census for Fremont county contains quite a few early Mills county residents. No one really knew in 1850 where the north line of Fremont county would fall, because the lines for townships 69 and 70 had not been surveyed by that date. Townships 67 and 68 were identified by 1845 - 1846 as part of Atchison county, Missouri.--W.F.
