Asa is listed in the 1850 US Census for Winnebago County and he married in Winnebago County (and is listed as "of" there) in his 1849 marriage, so the listing of his name wasn't a newsflash to me.
However, there are times where a person's name on one of these lists can help show they were thought to have been in a certain location at a certain point in time. Remember that just because someone sent a letter to someone in a certain village doesn't necessarily mean that that person was living there at the time of the "letter list."
