The 1860 and 1870 files file include only the part of Presidio County in the 
present-day Big Bend, i.e., Brewster, Jeff Davis, and Presidio County. In fact, 
in both 1860 and 1870 the populations were almost exclusively in the Fort Davis 
and Presidio-Fort Leaton areas, with the Faver Ranch being the notable exception 
and a few ranches such as the Spencer Ranch in few miles upstream of Presidio.

H.L Dexter, the enurmerator, cited in 1860 census of Isleta as a marhant and farmer
and with property worth 3,000, assets of 3,000 and a 14 year old,
apparently his wife, who was born in Mexico.  He was born in IL  
His "wife had $1,000 in prop. & $175 in personal assets
D.C. Peters owned a mulatto female slave, age 22.  No other blacks in Big bend area
