The Infamous Black Bird Southern Oregon History, Revised



1856 Jackson County
Oregon Territorial Census
(Partial)
Transcribed from a carelessly written original manuscript copy held by the Oregon Historical Society. The manuscript is in two parts; the first half is the 1855 census. An incomplete 1856 census, transcribed here, begins on page 126 of the pdf.
   

Names are transcribed faithfully, as far as possible. Corrections in square brackets are based on findagrave.com, the Secretary of State's index, and newspaper and manuscript evidence. Guesswork is indicated with a question mark. Refer to the link above to compare with the manuscript.
