This transcription of the 1880 Frio County census was transcribed by Elerie Ann Shoemake Bowman . An attempt was made to transcribe all information (spelling) exactly as it appeared on the census. Some names were very difficult to read and subjected to interpretation. These names have a question mark beside them (some were probably missed). Some of the names were obviously misspelled by the census enumerator or the original census transcriber.

The month of birth for children who were born within the census years is given in the comment column.

Information from marriage records and other sources when available are listed via footnotes referenced in the comment column. In a few cases a little family information has been added from my personal genealogical files.

The transcription can be used freely for family research and distribution to libraries with full consent of the transcriber, however, no permission is granted for its use for sale for financial gain.

A special thanks to my husband for assisting in typing, deciphering some of the hand writing, and doing the full-name index.
