The enumerator had very bad spelling, often appearing to leave the last letter off of a name, and his writing was very sloppy. It was nearly impossible to tell between the name May, and Mary. Many names ending in ry would have looked like just a y. Many times, what the enumerator wrote as an "o", I believe should be an "a". If you are looking for a Martha, check for Mortha, as I transcribed the names as written, not what I thought they should be. The information in the sex column is not reliable. I have found many many mistakes in this column. Transcriber's "general" comments about this district. At the bottom of page 50B, line 40, the Dwelling and Family number is 84. The next page, 51A, line 1, has no Dwelling or Family number, or last name, since it is a continuation of the family on the previous page. But, the next numbers on the page, on line 6, are Dwelling and Family number 104. The next page, 51B, line 1, has no Dwelling or Family number, or last name. Line 2 has Dwelling and Family 85. It appears that the enumerator did not use the pages in their proper order, and that page 51A actually belongs between pages 52B and 53A. Due to this, I have put in the Dwelling and Family numbers that I think belong, as well as the last name of the family for the same Dwelling and Family number.
