1885 Iowa State Census

This is an unusual database. Black Hawk County is not enumerated until the Iowa 1895 State Census. The information provided below contains only those people counted in the 1885 Iowa Census who were born in Black Hawk County, Iowa but live in one of these counties: Adair, Audubon, Adams, Buena Vista, Carroll, Calhoun, Cass, Cherokee, Clarke, Clay, Crawford, Decatur, Dickinson, Emmet, Fremont, Hamilton, Hancock, Humboldt, Ida, Kossuth, Lyon, Madison, Mills, Montgomery, O'Brien, Osceola, Page, Palo Alto, Plymouth, Pocahontas, Ringgold, Sac, Sioux, Taylor, Union, Van Buren, Winnebago, Woodbury, and Wright. Mostly children, there are many 30+ year old adults. If you see the kids but not the parents or other siblings, then the kids were the only ones born in Black Hawk County. The database was sorted first by County, then by Township/City and lastly by first name.
