Lauderdale, MS 1840 Federal Census
Transcriber's notes:

1. On the 2nd page, this enumerator only completes the columns for 
   Male Slaves, Female Slaves, and Total.

2. Page 64b is a page of tabulations which lists 3 Revolutionary War Pensioners. 
   However, there is only 1 name actually listed in the census image: 
   James Whitehead age 85 on pg. 47b.

It appears that he says that
Sheet 7 [pg. 45b] has a Revolutionary War Pensioner age 60/70
sheet 8 [pg. 46b] has a Revolutionary War Pensioner age 80/90
sheet 12 [pg. 50b] has a Revolutionary War Pensioner age 82

James Whitehead does not appear to be in the total, and the ones in the total, 
do not appear to be on the individual page.

3. In addition, he the total numbers of Blind and insane, 
   but only one appears on the individual page.
