Comments about the 1870 Clay Co., FL Census: This county was filmed with pages out of order. To help mitigate the confusion this causes, I will be adding these pages in order of the County Page Number. In addition, I know of a few families that were enumerated twice and will mark them also.
* = Hard to read or decipher handwriting (only applies to word immediately in front of *). Used my best guess. I apologize if they are wrong.
? = still hard to read, but I gave an alternative in the comments.
