These were renumbered later and changed to consecutive numbers with the originals of the first three townships crossed out and renumbered. In the last five townships there is a problem with the page numbers. It was originally double numbered and then renumbered. Sometimes the page numbers are visible and sometimes they are not visible. The numbers listed below are the final corrected page numbers. Townships in order on the roll with page and sheet numbers (sheet numbers have no A & B designations): Vernon Township - pages 1-32, sheets 155-186 Des Moines Township - pages 33-56, sheets 187-208 Jackson Township - pages 57-86, sheets 209-236 Village Township - pages 1-40, sheets 239-278 Lick Creek Township - pages 41-78, sheets 279-316 Washington Township - pages 79-108, sheets 317-346 Union Township - pages 109-151, sheets 347-389 Cedar Township - pages 152-175, sheets 390-413 Farmington Township - pages 176-242, sheets 414-480 Van Buren Township - pages 243-299, sheets 481-537 Chequest Township - pages 300-319, sheets 538-557 Harrisburg Township - pages 320-348, sheets 558-587 =============================================================== Sheet Nbrs Page Nbrs Township Online File Name(s) =============================================================== 390-413 152-175 Cedar cedar.txt 538-557 300-319 Chequest chequest.txt 187-208 33-56 Des Moines chequest.txt 414-434 176-196 Farmington farm01.txt 435-455 197-217 Farmington farm02.txt 456-477 218-239 Farmington farm03.txt 478-480 240-242 Farmington farm04.txt 558-578 320-340 Harrisburg harris01.txt 579-587 341-348 Harrisburg harris02.txt 209-227 57-77 Jackson jacksn01.txt 228-236 78-86 Jackson jacksn02.txt 155-175 1-21 Vernon vernon01.txt 176-186 22-32 Vernon vernon02.txt 317-337 79-99 Washington wash01.txt 338-346 100-108 Washington wash02.txt The following townships are currently being transcribed: 279-316 41-78 Lick Creek 481-537 243-299 Van Buren 239-278 1-40 Village ______________________________________________________________
