When searching for my Beckham/Beckam ancestors I found my 3Ggrandfather in Pr. George Co. He was listed on the AIS census index for 1810, used by many on-line as well as CD offerings. Imagine my utter surprise when, going to the microfilms, I found that he was in Pr. William Co. in 1810! There he is, on the actual census!!! I can tell you that the 1810 Index compiled by Elizabeth Petty Bentley, pub. by the GPC in 1980, is correct. I don't know if this error was for one page or more. Just be careful when using any on-line or printed sources... Gloria in MD

Gloria, I had the exact same thing happen with my William Munday. They had him listed in Prince George Co., Virginia for the 1810 census index. Well I was going to discount him as my ancestors father because of being in the wrong county. When I found out that they were from Prince William Co., I went to the actual census and found not only William but his son James and another Munday. None of these were listed in the census index. Imagine my surprise, just another example of checking the actual records rather than the abstracts and indexes. Just thought I would share this.
