1840 Census Recs 4 Jennings, Chafee Co., Colorado should *ACTUALLY* be for Jennings County, INDIANA!

I'm hoping this bug report gets to the right people at FamilySearch.

There are actually THOUSANDS of 1840 US Census records in FS that are indexed to places in Colorado.

But I'm pretty sure they're wrong, because Colorado Territory was not even organized until 1861!

    Yes, there are many of these. You have posted in the right place for escalation to the team that can fix it. You would help them if you post the URL of the film roll.
