Todd County (72 images total)
Image numbers below are in reference to the group of images labeled "Unknown Township" at Ancestry.com.
The group of images labeled "Unknown Townships" at Ancestry.com contains 71 images, nearly the entire Todd County census.
The last image is missing from the "Unknown Townships" group, but is present at the end of the "Todd City" group.
The group of images labeled "Todd City" is an erroneous interpretation of "Todd Cty."
("Cty" is the abbreviation of "County," not "City"; there is no such place as Todd City.)
The 66 images labeled "Todd City" are a duplicated subset from the 71 images labeled "Unknown Township."
The original list was roughly alphabetized, so no neighborhood reconstruction is possible.
Each page had a penciled number (P#) at the top-center (the same number being on both sides of the two-page spread);
each sheet of paper also had a stamped number (S#) in the upper right-hand corner of the front side,
which I have labeled side "A"; the back side of each sheet of paper has no stamped number, and I have labeled these side "B."
The tiny numbers in the cell with the P# is the number of households (names) on the page.

Trigg County (67 images total)
In Trigg Co. in 1840, the page with the numerical (slave/occupation) data preceeds the page with the names,
allowing the record to be read as a two-page spread. When Ancestry.com placed the Trigg County images online,
they were obviously unaware of this fact, so omitted the first page of numerical data.
