Census Takers--True Stories

The Texas 1850 Federal Census schedule, Volume 3, written by H.
Swaringen, Asst. Marshall, 23 October 1850 contains this note
written by the census taker.

"I certify these to be sixty-four pages and a piece of the
inhabitants and done as near in accordance with my oath as I could
do it. The people was hard to get along with!"

OCUPYUSHIEN CENSUS TAKER--

"I am a census taker for the City of Bufflow. Our city has groan
very fast in resent years and now in 1865, it has become a hard
and time consuming job to count all the peephill.
There is not many that can do this work, as it
is necessarie to have an ejucashun, wich a lot of person
still do not have. Ahnuther atribert needed for this job
is good speling for many of the peephill to
be counted can harle speak inglish, let alon spel there names."

So that's why I can't find them!!
