Stokes, NC 1850 Federal Census This Census was transcribed by Lucy Folger and proofread by Don Folger for the USGenWeb Census Project, http://www.usgenweb.org/census. TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: 1. The enumerator left the last two lines of each page blank. 2. Several times, he skipped dwelling or family numbers or used the same number twice. This has been noted in the remarks column. 3. Where there seems to be an obvious mistake (i.e. sex is F when the name suggests M), it has been noted in the remarks column. 4. On page 120a of the census, the enumerator started using ditto (") marks in the occupation column. I assumed this referred to the last time an occupation was listed. However, in some places, this did not seem to hold true. For instance, on page 142b, line 13 has farmer, line 14 has Basketmaker, lines 21, 23, 31, 33, 38, and 40 had ditto marks. I assumed the enumerator meant farmer and possibly inserted basketmaker at a later time.
