*Sic (as written, although an obvious error)     **Immigration year 1850; 50 years in the United States; naturalized     ***can read but cannot write
†These entries were written on the line above, but I believe it was an error and they were meant to apply to Henry Richmond

Note:  The family numbers have all been crossed out and re-written with a new number, which is one digit higher than the one originally recorded (and
transcribed above)
