Dyer, TN 1870 Federal Census (File 29 of 37) ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/tn/dyer/1870/ (File 4 of 4 for Newburn, Civil District 9) This Census was transcribed by Natalie Huntley and proofread by Brian Huntley for the USGenWeb Census Project, http://www.us-census.org/ Copyright 2001 by Natalie Huntley Transcriber's "general" comments about this census. The enumerator had very bad spelling, often appearing to leave the last letter off of a name, and his writing was very sloppy. It was nearly impossible to tell between the name May, and Mary. Many names ending in ry could have looked like just a y. Many times, what the enumerator wrote as an "o", I believe should be an "a". If you are looking for a Martha, check for Mortha, as I transcribed the names as written, not what I thought they should be. The information in the sex column is not reliable. I have found many many mistakes in this column. ========================================================================= USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
