This is the 1850 Census of Hancock Co, Illinois. I have transcribed it to the best of my ability. Census records are very hard to read and some of them are to light to see anything. The middle initials may not be the right one as those are really hard to read. If you find there is an error that you personally know is wrong  please let me know and I will correct it. If I have left someone out, It is only because I could not read their name. If you know I have left someone out and have a copy of another census page that they are on, please send me a copy of the page from the original census and I will add them to the census. If you have a relative on this census and you know I have mispelled their name please email me with the correct spelling and page number as it appears on another census and I will correct it.  If you don't understand something on the census, please email me after you have read the discription of the columns.

Column 1.= Dwelling house numbered in the order of Visitation

Column 2.=. Family number in the order of Visitation

Column 3.= The Name of Every Person whos usual place of Abode on the 13 day of August 1850, was in the family. Last, name first, seperated by a comma

I have made each page of the census 8 pages of the actual census. On the actual census the pages are numbered 1 and the next one is  B. The next page is 2 and the next is B and so on. I have separated the pages into A and B like the actual census so page 1 will be page 1 A- page 4 B. If there are any changes of spellings or if I have left a name off that I could not read and you know the name of the person please email me Ken Huffman
