1838 IOWA CENSUS - WISCONSIN TERRITORY
The 1838 Wisconsin Territorial Census of the recently established
Van Buren County, was alphabetized from the original document by
Mrs. Gerald Reynolds, Des Moines, Iowa. The original of this
manuscript is in the Iowa Department of History and Archives.
[NOTE: It seems quite likely that this listing may not represent all of Van Buren county as prominent early settlers including MANNING, MEEK and others are not listed. Other sources reportedly state the total county population at 3,174 versus the 841 reported here. The listing below is stated on the census as being the 3rd District, Van Buren County, Wisconsin Territory. Were there other Van Buren County districts? Let us hear from you if you have additional info on this.]
The statement on the intro page says:
"Territory of Wisconsin Van Buren County third Division. I Lemuel B.
Jackson hereby certify that the Number of persons within My Division
Consisting of Four hundred and Seventy Seven white Males and three
hundred & Sixty four White females. Total Amount Eight hundred &
forty one as appears in A Schedule hereto Annexed. Subscribed by Me
this 23rd day of May 1838. Lemuel G. Jackson Deputy and Assistant
to the Sheriff of Van Buren County Wisconsin Territory."
