1880 Federal Census

In 1880, there were 31 inhabitants reported for the Federal Census

I left out several blank columns, 7, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, there were no entries
for any person in those columns. Column 14 is "Number of months this person has been
unemployed during the Census year"; there were five check marks but no numbers. This
record is for the J A Ranch with Charles Goodnight in charge so most are marked as
boarders.

This table is very wide - scroll to the right to see all the columns.
