These are the McPherson's that are listed in the 1790 census, my William is listed below, I have the origional records of the census records of Laurens, South Carolina. William McPherson is listed on page number 444 , why would the 1790 census index be misleading for me to go to page 75. These are the McPherson's in my family and the page numbers do not go with the index, does the index tell you to go to page 75, then go to another page which would be page 444?

The 1790 census index that I use is apparently one that was retabulated and printed in book form. Laurens Co. is covered on pages 71 through 76. Nothing is hand written in this index. Someone who is as serious as you are should verify these retabulated results by checking the originals. Mistakes can be made during the retabulation. The retabulated census that I use is not an index, but looks like the names are listed in the same sequence as in the originals. I made my own index for these retabulated, printed, data. ----- Original Message ----- From: "brenda compton" <bmcompton2000@yahoo.com> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 7:50 AM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Re: 1790 census index > These are the McPherson's that are listed in the 1790 > census, my William is listed below, I have the > origional records of the census records of Laurens, > South Carolina. > William McPherson is listed on page number 444 , why > would the 1790 census index be misleading for me to go > to page 75.
