Transcriber's notes for 1870 census of Southampton Twp., Somerset Co. PA.
http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/pa/somerset/1870/

     The Enumerator was John H. Lepley who produced a very readable
document. His spelling of the given names Allice and Henery were always
the same and not the same as we use today. He also used an occasional
nickname probably for personal friends. There is a John H. Lepley family
shown near the end of the census in which he lists that John H. Lepley
as unable to read or write. In all cases, his original writing has been
recorded to the best of my ability. In cases of a difficult to read
situation, several possibilities have been suggested and listed. E. V.
