   [1857 Minnesota Census.This was a special state census. It is also interesting to note that many of the people who are in this census are not around three years later in the Federal Census of 1860. Also, most of the listings are under the Putman spelling, even though many should be listed as Putnams, especially the New England ones. I have changed the ones I am certain about over to Putnam. written by Bill Putnam] http://www.billputman.com/Minnesota%20Census%201850-1900.htm
