THE CENSUS OF 1870 for the UPPER KEYS
INDIAN KEY
This census data was transcribed from the 1870 census microfilm by Jerry Wilkinson. Some entries were practically unreadable; therefore mistakes are possible. The serious researcher should refer to the actual microfilm and verify the data. It may not appear lined up correctly on some browsers and monitor sizes.

  The 1870 census provides a reasonable entrance point to Upper Keys population. On the microfilm there is additional information provided for each person. As a comparison, in 1870 Key West had a population of 5,675.
