I have been working on source information using the 1860 Census and have noted multiple issues:

Lawrence County is missing Washington and Rome Townships. Rome Township is mistakenly added to the end of Union Township (starts on image 40). Washington is added to the end of Decatur Township (starting at image 25)

Most of Lawrence County has no indexes at all. Even clear pages are listed as illegible as the names or missing indexes.

    @lamorris70 There are a few DGS we have identified in the 1860 Census as missing indexes. Lawrence County, Ohio is one of them. It is not clear yet how many records have been affected, so if you find others be sure to report.
