Walnut Township is located in western Barton County and includes the towns of Albert and Olmitz. A
map of Barton County in the early 1880's showing township boundaries is available online on the Kansas Collection's online edition of the 1883 book,
A History of the State of Kansas located on the University of Kansas server.
This is a partial listing of information from the 1880 census of Walnut Township. The information included here is limited to:
SURNAME (in bold print and capitalized)
Given name
Sex
Age
Relation to head of family
Occupation (if listed)
State/Country of birth (Zip code abbreviation for state, spelled out for country)
State/Country of father's birth (Zip code abbreviation for state, spelled out for country)
State/Country of mother's birth (Zip code abbreviation for state, spelled out for country)
We have tried to transcribe information exactly as written in the census. Thus you will find words like Prussia mispelled as Prusia. When we are unsure of something written for an individual we have included a question mark next to the name/data
Relying on cemetery, obituary and personal family records we will eventually add some information on some families here to help researchers better identify who is who. If we have questions/comments on what the census taker has written we will include these comments as well. This information appears in italics after the census information for a family.
We hope this information will be of some help to family researchers. I
