Prince William County, Virginia - 1860

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
The census enumerator, Wm. A. Bryant, had excellent handwriting.  
Most letters were easy to read.  
Sometimes he did not dot his "i" and I had to decide if it was an "e" or an "i".  
Usually his "e" had a slight loop in it.  
--------
When the handwritten page number was on the lefthand side of the census page, it was difficult to read.  
If I could not read the handwritten number, I did not add it to the census page.
--------
On page 465, the enumerator made an error in recording the Family and Dwelling numbers.  
He went from Dwelling # 331 to # 232 and from Family # 320 to # 221.  
In reality there should be 100 more Dwelling and Family numbers for the total of the county.
