Hello. I was trying to get some specific numbers on immigrant residents in various towns in West Virginia counties. I did a search on Family Search with residence as "Martinsburg Virginia" and got about 10,000 results. Martinsburg, according to the 1860, census had about 3,000 residents. Did they duplicate listings in the census? Also, in the original 1860 census of Virginia cities and towns they have a listing for Grafton, Taylor County, but the original census books don't have Grafton separately counted, so how did they get the numbers?
My main interest is in the numbers of immigrants brought into towns on the B&O rail line.
