If anyone is researching Native American ancestors in the upper midwest with English surnames Robertson, Bocker, Graham, Douglass, and Morgan, I ran across this interesting 1880 Census Record of six households (spanning two pages) which the census taker labeled together as "A Band of Roving Indians."

I would add the tags of all the surnames. I’ve never seen a census like this one (very unique). I wonder if this census taker did this on other census of others? Intriguing!

Do these people mentioned in the census have a Wikitree profile?

It continues on the next page.  (None on the previous two
pages)
Thanks, I added the surname tags. I noticed this while working on the USBH 1880 census project, and have not checked to see if any of these people have profiles.
