Wisconsin - naturalization documents, 1855

[Erato]

FamilySearch has naturalization records for Marquette County, Wisconsin in the 1850s.  These are in a database entitled "Declaration of intention index 1848-1858 vol 2."  There are no declarations  recorded for 1854 and only three for 1855.  There were numerous declarations in the preceding and following years.  I am looking for a record in 1855 - the declaration of John Ennis.  I have a copy of his declaration that was apparently made at the time, either by John himself or by someone in the county clerk's office.  But there is no record of it in the index book.

Does volume 1 exist?  Is it perhaps available at one of the commercial sites to which I do not have access?

Besides you said the copy of his declaration came from the county clerk, not a federal court.

My mistake.  I called him the county clerk but he was actually the circuit court clerk.  Here's a scan of the document.  I found a xerox copy of it among some papers my father had stashed away.  It purports to be a true copy of the original official document.  I assume it was made so that John Ennis would have a record of his declaration.

I guess the Circuit Court would be the people to ask if the U. Wisconsin at Oshkosh site doesn't have the answers.

Thanks for the link to the Oshkosh site.  It provided answers to a few mysteries [George did divorce Hannah] and raised several new ones [who the heck were Tom and Dave Ennis in 1932?].  If I had a pile of money and if the postal service were currently functioning in Ecuador, I'd send for some of the documents.  For now, I'll put them on the back burner.

I'm still mystified as to why John Ennis's declaration was not recorded.  Maybe he backed out and withdrew his application although he was recorded as a citizen in 1870.
