NEBRASKA CENSUS, 1855, RICHARDSON COUNTY.

The Census of 1855 did not include the Half Breed Tract which was mostly in Richardson County. The work seems to have been done rather carelessly; some residents of Richardson County are listed in Pawnee County, and the Christian names and initials are often incorrect. The enumeration was signed under oath, October 10, 1855, by James D. White.
