I am sure that you are right. That is why I am trying to figure out what Ronald Jackson used. Sigh. I wish he had been in the habit of labeling his databases correctly.

All federal censuses except for "Washington County" have been lost for 1800. At that time, Washington County was made up of the present day counties that pretty much make up the southeast corner of Ohio, too many to list here. In 1810, all federal censuses were lost, except for Washington County, which in that year had shrunk to its present day size, plus parts of four other counties. In 1820, all counties are extant, except for Franklin and Wood. Wood was made up of about 12 present day counties, in the northwest corner of Ohio.
