Croyle Township, Summerhill Post Office, Cambria County, PA 

This township appears to start on (Written page 301) Stamped page 267 Line 15. 
The enumerator information on this particular page applies to the previous 
township that ended on Line 10.  There is no indication that Lines 15 through 40
apply to Croyle Township until (Written page 302) Stamped page 268. Indications 
that the pages connect are by the Family/Dwelling numbers and last name on 
Line 40 page 267 continues with Line 1 page 268. 

Page 276 Lines 15-18. The last name is shown as Math. But the fourth letter, h, could be a t,
ts or even an I which would make the last name either Matt, Matts or Matti.

Chest Township

Page 146.  The division name on this page is listed as Carroll Township.  
I feel it was listed in error and should have been listed as Chest Township for the following reason.  
James Murray enumerated Carroll and Chest Townships.  Carroll Twp ended on stamped page 144 line 8.  
Chest Township starts on stamped page 145 line 1 with dwelling and family numbers running in sequence 
through stamped page 160.  The only difference noted is on stamped page 146 where he indicated the 
Division to be Carroll Township which was the Division he  had compeleted previous to Chest Township.

Page 149, lines 6 through 13.  The Census Index shows the last name as Ashcraft.  
The enumerator has spelled the name 2 different ways:  on line 6 he wrote Ashcralf and on line 7 he wrote Ashraft.
