Adair County, IA 1860 Federal Census This Census was transcribed by Lawrence Kinyon and proofread by Susan Kinyon for the USGenWeb Archives Census Project, http://www.usgenweb.org/census.

Every attempt was made to copy the information as entered on the census record. Obvious mistakes and misspellings have been transferred to this copy. The user should obtain the microfilm records to make their own interpretation of the records where needed. It should be noted that the enumerator in most cases spelled out the occupation of the first member of the household and then used ditto marks for their spouse and any children for which occupations were listed. On occasion this resulted in children under the age of 15 being listed with an occupation and at other times some of those over 15 have no occupation given. I would like to hear your comments/suggestions concerning this transcription. They may be sent to me (Larry Kinyon) at the following email addresses: nodaway@switchboardmail.com lkinyon@prodigy.net. James Gibbs, enumerator of this census included the following statement at the end of the census: "I do hereby Certify that the foregoing Returns were made according to my oath of office & instructions and contain 27 Pages to the Best of My Knowledge & Belief. /s/ James C Gibbs Assistant Marshall I hope that you find this resource useful in your research.
