As I was passing along some census information from Wes Cochran's "1850 Harrison County Census", I was noting that the subject, Sarah Harper and her family, had been entered twice in the census - on pages 64 & 108. They are listed as living at both House 917 and House 667. At first, I thought this family might have been between houses (in the process of moving), but then I noticed there were several familes entered twice on above pages, beginning with Alpheus W. Prichard and ending with Sarah Harper's family. These entries also have slightly different information. Is there an explanation for this? Did the territories of the census takers over-lap or is this simply a typographical error? Is there anyone out there who can check an actual 1850 Census for these pages? Thanks much. <Sharon>< ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
