Kaylynn, I have seen that on several state census's and if it is like the early (ie 1840-1830) it means No township listed for those individuals. They must have been really rural or right on a border of two.

I found a Loomis (hopefully mine!), listed as Henry County, page 120, NC Twsp. It was listed in almost every county I checked. Anyone know? Thanks..... Kaylynn
