1820 U. S. Census (Ancestry.com)[]

Ancestry.com has mislabelled the entries from the bottom half of a page in the 1820 U.S. census of Wayne County, Ohio. The top half of the census page has entries from Congress Township of Wayne County, Ohio, but the entries on the bottom half of the page are from Chester Township in Wayne County, Ohio. Ancestry.com has mistakenly labelled the entries on the bottom half of the page as being from Congress Township rather than Chester Township. Ancestry.com also does not allow you to use the arrows to page to the next township in sequence. These entries are correctly labeled at HeritageQuestOnline.
