Transcription notes:
-The column for race was omitted from the transcription. The choices on the 1860 census were White, Black or Mulatto. The race is presumed to be White, but if someone is indicated as Black or Mulatto on the census, it has been noted immediately below the transcribed page.

-This enumerator's handwriting was not consistent and his ability to accurately record non-English names was challenging.  Where possible, I referenced other Iowa (state) and USFC censuses -- including the 1860 Agriculture Schedule -- to verify minor questions with the enumerator's handwriting. Where the records varied, I transcribed exactly what I read on the 1860 USFC and did not alter the information.The enumerator frequently misspelled surnames, especially using a "c" for an "s", or vice versa. It will benefit the researcher to scroll the names rather than searching the page. Be creative!

- Care has been taken to provide an accurate transcription, but the handwriting was frequently very difficult to read. Errors are likely. Please use only as a guide in your research & consult the original census to verify the entries.

- Additional transcription notes specific to a page will appear below the enumeration for that page.

The KEY to the columns & Credit citation is at the bottom of this page

Transcriber & Proof-reader notes for PG 216:
LN #3 - The surname is essentially illegible. My assumption is that the enumerator started to record a surname, then overwrote it in thick black ink. I think this may very possibly be Casper Manderfield, who is recorded on the 1860 U.S. Federal Census, Non-Population Schedule, next to George Peacock. Caspar Manderfield is shown to have $500 in property value, the same as on the entry in LN #3 above. (KA) The Return of Deaths, Allamakee County recorded Casper Manderfield, unmarried, died 1903, buried Cherry Mound cemetery. (SF)

LN #4 & 5 - If it is correct that Casper Manderfield was unmarried, it is possible that lines 4 & 5 might be Paul Manderfield, died 1867 & Getrud Manderfield, died 1884. They are shown in other records as Casper's parents. Both are also buried in Cherry Mound cemetery. The given name 'Martha' is written for LN 5, a conflict needing to be resolved, but it could be a middle name. (SF)

LN #6, 7 & 8 - The surname is undetermined for all. No records for James, John or William in association with Casper Manderfield or any Manderfield show up. Very possibly the enumerator incorrectly combined two families under one surname. (KA)

It is the responsibility of interested researchers to use the above notes as "food for thought" and come to their own conclusions as to the surname for Lines 3 thru 8
