This may sound like an odd question, but I was looking at a barely
legible 1850 Census entry for Laurens County. In Dwelling 2034, page
333, I came across an entry for a Robert Woods (age 25).  The next name
was a C-something and what looked like the word "Indian."  This was
followed by the indicatoion it was a female age 21.

Does anybody have a clue if, in 1850, the census taker would have,
simply wrote down an indian female and not a name?  And secondly, were
there any Croatan Indians marrying Woodses in Laurens County in 1850?  I
realize the last question is a bit absurd, but, of course, I must ask
it.

Thanks for your indulgence.
