Greetings,
The 1850 Federal Census of Benton County, Oregon Territory has been
completed in the USGenweb Census Project and placed online in the ORGenweb
Archives. This work is a complete and accurate transcription of the
original census record, transcribed by Ila Wakley and proofread by Sonya
Bridges. This same team is currently well on the way toward completion of
the same work for Clackamas, Marion, Polk, & Yamhill Counties in the same
census year.
The 1850 Benton census is at:
