My library does not have this microfilm but I have been in contact with Wis. Library. I inquired about a list of people living in that area at the time. This is where I was told to look. Hope this will help. "To add a little to response, I believe what you are looking for is contained in both 1QQ and 2QQ (Volumes 1 & 2 of Series QQ) of the Draper Manuscripts."
