Table I. — Nativity by percentage. 



Coming now to a more careful study of the results in Table 

 1, v:e find that as late as 1870 only two towois, Brighton and 

 Paris, had a population of over 50^ horn in Wisconsin. Of 

 the total jDopulation of the entire county in 1870 only 45.3^ 

 were born in Wisconsin. This shows plainly that the bulk of 

 the population in 1870 and previously, was bom either in other 

 states or in foreis^i countries.
