1855 Washington County, Illinois State Census

(Note to researchers: The census copy I used is light in places.
That, coupled with the beautiful, but flowery script, makes transcription a bit of a challenge,
particularly when a head of household is listed by initials instead of a first name.
Corrections are welcomed and invited. Thank you.)
