1850 Federal Census Of Highland Township,
Oakland County, Michigan

Introduction

This is a verbatim transcription of the 1850 Federal Census of Highland Township, Oakland County, Michigan, preserving the format, spellings and abbreviations found in the original microfilmed census rolls.  For example, if the original record uses the abbreviation "Geo" with no period, it is so transcribed rather than substituting "George" or "Geo."  There are two exceptions to this practice:  (1) Periods are added to abbreviated surnames such as "St. John," and (2) ditto marks ["] and/or the abbreviation "Do." have been replaced with the word or abbreviation they reference.  This will facilite finding such names or words using your browser's "find" command or the site's search engines.  Where the handwriting on the original census roll is illegible or unclear the entry is flagged with a question mark (?).  Unusual or phonetic spellings of names and words is preserved, but the more common or preferred spelling will be given either in brackets and/or in notes which follow the given family's entry. 

All of the 21 pages of this census indicate they were enumerated by S. Stevens, Ass't Marshall, in October, 1850.  The specific date each page was completed is given under its page number.  In theory all data is as of June 1, 1850, but it is often helpful to also know the date a specific entry was made.

Both this and the following entry have the same dwelling and family numbers.  Silvia Corwin and Wm. Corwin above were married in the past year, and thus should have been included together in one household.  Note that William Corwin was the brother of Ezra Corwin above.

 
2208 2245 Geo. Summer 34 M Farmer 800 NY
Sarah Summer 37 F NY
George Summer 5 M VT
Mary Summer 3 F Mich x
Daniel Simons 9 M Mich x

 

It seems doubtful that Mary Summer would attend school at age 3.   Rather, it was probably George Summer, age 5, who was the scholar and the check mark was placed in the wrong row.

 
2209 2246 A Roschbaume 65 M Farmer VT
 

This man's full name was Ashuarus Roseboone.

Ancestry.com indexes this man under the name "Grun," but he is the Rev. Oliver Hazard Perry Green, b. May 20, 1825, at Lansing, Michigan; m. Louisa J., daughter of  Abel and Ruth Thomas b.

It seems clear Saml Richman, age 36, is the younger brother of Geo Richman and thus uncle to the younger Sam Richman, age 1.

Calvery Richman (Richmond) 30 M Farmer NY

    

This family's surname looks like "Richman" and it is so indexed by Ancestry.com.  Other evidence, however, indicates the surname should be spelled "Richmond."  Ancestry.com likewises indexes the first name of the head of household as "Alver" although it is actually "Abner."  It is unclear what the "F" means for the occupation of Jane.  It seems the census taker may have started to write "Farmer," then realized his error.  In that case, however, one would expect the "F" to have been crossed out.

Geo Finnan (?) 10 M Mich x

Saml Gregory 90 M Farmer NY

    

Even through written twice, the surname of this family is impossible to decipher.  As noted, the entry on page 342 appears to begin with "Feu" whereas the entry on page 343 looks like "Fi" (including the tittle over the "i").  Ancestry.com indexes this family as "Feinman" although there is nothing to suggest the family was of German and/or Jewish extraction.  The presence of the aged Samuel Gregory in the household suggests he was the father of Cornelia Feumann/Finnan, which may help establish the family's identity.

This is the family of Orin Cole, born October 10, 1811, at Vernon, Oneida County, New York, son of Henderson and Betsey (Parmalee) Cole; m. Tamar a/ka/ Tamer (Furman) Babcock, born June 29, 1800, widow of Jacob Babcock.

It seems unlikely Rachel attended school at age 38.  Rather, it appears the check mark should have been placed in the row for Benj.  Note also the children named Elizabeth and Betsy (a nickname for Elizabeth).  Either the age of Betsy and/or her place of birth seems wrong.  If truly 9 years of age, then she would presumably have been born in New York, as were her next two siblings.  If truly born in Michigan, then she would presumably be age 6 or less.

Michael Beach was actually born in either Connecticut or (more likely) New York.  He served in the War of 1812, then came to Michigan circa 1818, settling first in Troy, Oakland County.  He thereafter removed to Highland circa 1833.  Son George Beach was actually born in Michigan.  It is likely the value of real estate should be in the row for Michael; not son George.

This is Wellington Cleveland Burnett, son of Lester and Olive (Brown) Burnett, born September 21, 1828 (but others say 1829), at Hampton, Windham County, Connecticut.  Lester Burnett came to Michigan in the 1830's and initially settled in Livingston County where he and others platted the Village of Hamburg.  Circa 1840, however, he sold his interest and moved to Highland Township.  His son, Wellington C. Burnett, enlisted in the army during Mexican War and rose to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, 15th Reg., serving with distinction at the Valley of Mexico, Contreras, Churubusco, El Molino del Rey, Chapultepec, and Mexico City.  After the war he attended school in Ohio and Cambridge Law School before eventually moving to California in 1854, where he became a noted lawyer.  He served as a justice of the peace, city attorney and in 1856 was elected to the California senate on the Know-Nothing/Native American party ticket.   He also served as brigadier-general of the California National Guard under the administration of Governor John Neely Johnson.  Wellington C. Burnett's family papers, including letters to/from his wife, are in the Henry E. Huntington Library and have been cited in several recent books about 19th century family life.
