transcribed from microfilm of the census by Darrel Jenkins, in the year 2003
| Preface:
Having been born in Freedom, January 18th, 1920 I often wondered who lived in Freedom that year and where they might have lived at that time. I went through the census records for that year for all three counties and got a fairly good idea who lived there at that time and where they lived. Most still lived in the same place when I got old enough to remember. It seemed like the census takers were not too careful as to where precinct boundaries started and stopped and as a result some people were included in the Thayne or Etna survey and some from Amesville or lower Etna were included in the Freedom survey. I tried to include everyone who had children going to the Freedom schools or who went to church in Freedom. I copied the names as spelled in the census with their names in parenthesis as I knew them, and next to names and places I couldn't read or recognize I put a question mark. I have included notes for further explanation -- at least as I remember them as I got older, or as they were told to me later. Their maiden names as I knew them I also put in parenthesis. As I read the census report it appears that the census takers started in one place and continued on without jumping from home to home; therefore I could figure out which homes the people lived in, as I remember them as I got older.
