These were renumbered later and changed to consecutive numbers with the originals of the first three townships crossed out and renumbered. In the last five townships there is a problem with the page numbers. It was originally double numbered and then renumbered. Sometimes the page numbers are visible and sometimes they are not visible. The numbers listed below are the final corrected page numbers.
