Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- Automatic PDF text extraction was requested with ocr-mode=auto, but no extractor produced usable text.
- Manual transcription created from the census image because the record page is image-based and local OCR tools were unavailable.
- The record does not state household relationships; likely family relationships should remain proposed until supported by additional evidence.
- The line for Jeremiah Armstrong appears to give age 11, which conflicts with the current exact birth date for person-jeremiah-gardner-armstrong-1841.
- The enumerator name in the header appears to read Azariah Root, but it was not normalized as a fact because the handwriting is light.
