Grant, IN 1850 Federal Census - notes The microfilmed census started out in the middle of Monroe Township. It appears that page 142A is a continuation of the family ending on page 203B. The handwriting on this census was quite good. It was usually quite legible. However, it was impossible to tell the difference between ‘I’ and ‘J’. The J was usually not extended below the line, making them look exactly the same. The quality of the microfilming was also quite good on most of the census, but there are some pages about half way through that were quite light and harder to read.
