The John Brown (and family) that appears in the 1856, Taylor Township, Benton County census, page is either a fancy 111 or 444 where the connecting dash - on the four is so faint that you can't see it. Is there someone on this list who is able to tell me the volume of that census enumeration in order for us to prove that John Brown was a pioneer to the Benton County area?

Hi Cathie, I don't have the volume for the State Historical Society of Iowa (is that what you mean?), but the Family History Library microfilm number for the 1856 Benton County census is 1021291. Other film numbers listed here: http://iagenweb.org/census/1856micr.htm I do not see a John Brown in the 1854 census for Benton, but see a few John Browns in a name only list: http://iagenweb.org/census/benton/ Hope this helps, Steve Williams Iowa State Census Project Coordinator for IAGenWeb. http://iagenweb.org/census/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Cathie Nelson Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 3:59 PM To: IOWA-L Subject: [IOWA] 1856 State Census The John Brown (and family) that appears in the 1856, Taylor Township, Benton County census, page is either a fancy 111 or 444 where the connecting dash - on the four is so faint that you can't see it.
