Leon County, FL 1860 Federal Census Transcriber's Notes: Notes for 1860 Leon County, Florida Census When I did the 1850 Leon County census I was left with a big worry. That was that people would miss their ancestor because I did not interpret the census correctly. The enumerator of that census did not like ditto marks or the letters "do". He just left a blank. This was OK most of the time, but sometimes it was hard to tell if a middle name was a middle name, or someone of a different surname living in the same household. I decided to do the 1860 Leon County census as a check of the 1850. Well, the enumerator of the 1860 census was a very lazy person. He did not like to spell out names. So most of the time all you see are initials. While this helps some, it is not the big help that I had hoped. Looks like I will have to do the 1870 as well. Check back often for the 1870.
