Page 120:  

A statement is written on this page and is as follows:
    The annexed return of enumeration made by H. Thompson (assisstant
    marshall) appointed to take the Census of Harrison County.  I have examined
    and hereby certify to be correct.   

                            Signed: Richard Richetts

Also written on the page are these comments on seperate lines:
    Harrison Co. W.D.       Population 6,686
    H. Thompson asst.
                    (Recapitulation)    Compared with the aggregate
                                Turner & Barche

There is also a large number 52 written on the page which may mean the district being counted.

Pg. 141

There is a statement at the bottom of the page and is as follows:
    The Whole population on South west side of south Licking in Harrison County
    6,603  Signed Henry Thompson

From next page, it is shown that this is the area that Henry Thompson enumerated 
and another assistant did the rest of Harrison County.  See page 145B statement.

Page 145A:  

This page appears to be the totals for the first 21 pages of the census and has the heading 
Recapitulation of Harrison County and then lists the page numbers next to each row
(page numbers do not correlate with census page numbers).

Page 145B:

There is a statement on this page and is as follows:

The annexed return of enumeration, made by Perry Whewell (assistant marshall) 
appointed to take the Census of the E.D. of Harrison County,  I have examined, 
and hereby certify to be correct.:      Signed Richard Richetts

Also these writings are on page:

E.D. Harrison Co.           Population of County Proper 5,088
Perry Whewett  asst.        Population of Cynthania         798
                            Grand Total....................5,886

                                           Compared with the Aggregate
                                   Can't read the signature due to tape
                                   on microfilm.

There is a large 51 on the page, so I am assuming that is the district number.
Page 151:

This page was extremely hard to read.  It appears the entire page was smudged.  
Accuracy in transcription is questionable for the following rows:
    1,2,10,11,12,17,20,21,22,24,25, and 27

Page 174:

The last page has the following statements along with totals for County, exclusive of the 
town of Cynthania:

The numbers of persons within my division consisting of five thousand seven hundred & ninety 
appears in the foregoing schedule Subscribed by me this 20th day of October in the year 
one thousand eight hundred and forty.
                                
                                    Signed: Perry Wherritt

The spelling of the assistant marshall seems to change on each page it is written.

We hereby certify that a correct coppy of the above schedule signed by the said 
Perry Wherritt has been set up at two of the most public places within the Division 
open to the inspection of all concerned.

                            Signed: Wm W. Trimble
