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.
