Pike, MO 1850 Federal Census
TRANSCRIBER's NOTES:

It was apparent while transcribing this census that someone had come
 along after the fact and wrote in birthplaces for those left blank.  

When the birthplace was unknown and written in the census taker's hand,
 I entered it in lower case.  
 
 In incidents where I transcribed UNKNOWN, it was written in the other hand.

This information written in the DD&B column would not fit in the 
REMARKS section, so it is included here:

P. 229A, line 8 -  This young man is halfable in his limbs & his 
growth stopped at an early age

[This is written at the conclusion of the census, explaining why there
 were two census takers for the county.]

On the 17th of September 1850 it became evident to Mr. Pettibone that 
he alone could not accomplish the work of his subdivision and at his 
request I appointed by commission Saml. W. Finley (an efficient & 
competent man) to assist him in the completion of the work.  The riding 
after Sept 25 was done by said Finley and consequintly his signature 
appears on the pages from that date.

The families enumerated by
Mr. Pettibone are      1302
and by Mr. Finley       369
              -------
        Total  1671

They asked however to have the account all made in the name of Mr. 
Pettibone, thus it is done.

I mention that this work has been delay near 10 days by a mistake of 
the P. M. in sending it to Jefferson City instead of this place.

The same has been done in 4 or 5 other districts and this will explain all.
