The 1860 Census was enumerated by two Assistant U.S. Marshals - A. D. Callender, who covered the northern half of the County, and Elisha V. Long, who enumerated the southern half of the County - between June 13th, 1860 and October 27th, 1860. You must check every conceivable spelling of the surname you are searching for. Neither of these Marshals were good spellers and oftentimes the handwriting was very difficult to read. Names were often spelled phonetically...such as Abraham Pontius of Tippecanoe Township, his surname was recorded by the U.S. Marshal as PENCHIS. Mistakes were also made by the enumerators, in many cases the wrong gender is noted for a name that is clearly of the opposite gender, i.e. Martha recorded as "M". This presentation of the 1860 census notes each entry as it was recorded by the two census enumerators, Callender and Long. If the transcriber believed an error was made by the enumerator there will be an entry in the last column, called "Remarks."

A clarification of each of the column headings canbe found here.
