On the record
The register directs this section to Chapman's printed 1880 township products table at pages 664–665, read from the page images because the machine text is garbled. The pages were read — in the Internet Archive scan of the 1880 Chapman (986 pages), as reproduced page by page from that scan — and the table is not there. Page 664 carries the county commissioners' roll for 1843–1849 and page 665 opens "A Retrospect," the volume's backward look over the county's first half-century. The conflict is printed unreconciled: either the register's page citation belongs to a differently paginated copy of the edition, or the table it names stands elsewhere in the volume; neither reading is adopted here, and no table is quoted from pages that do not hold one. What the same passage of Chapman does carry, two pages on, is the dated county count this row needs, and it is extracted whole from page 667, "St. Joseph County of To-Day": a population of upward of 33,000; three thousand men at present engaged in the various manufactories; manufactures in which the county "leads every other county in the north part of the State"; the St. Joseph River's power "developed and utilized," with scores of manufacturing institutions profiting by it; and an assessed value of real and personal property of about 15,000,000 dollars, stated to be about one-third the real value, with the county owing no debt of any kind. Those are 1880 census-point figures for the county, from the county history itself. The township cut of them — a products table re-cut to Clay and Harris — was not found in Chapman's township chapters as reproduced from the same scan, and the federal series behind the row, the Census of Manufactures, was published at county size, not township size. Farms & Agriculture, for its part, already carries the table as a named gap whose figures were unreconstructed from interleaved machine text; this section now adds the page-image reading, which disagrees with the page citation and is printed above, not resolved. The township figures therefore close as a named gap: their settling source is the manuscript products-of-industry schedules of the 1880 census and the Census of Manufactures manuscript county schedules, 1850–1940, held in the National Archives' census records, from which a two-township cut would have to be built schedule by schedule. Until that build is done, the ladder in row 8 below runs on the county figures Chapman prints, and says so.

Chapman & Co., History of St. Joseph County, Indiana (Chicago, 1880), pp. 664–667, read in the Internet Archive scan (page images via the LDS Genealogy page-by-page reproduction of that scan): p. 664, commissioners' roll; p. 665, "A Retrospect"; p. 667, "St. Joseph County of To-Day" (population upward of 33,000; 3,000 men in manufactories; assessed value about $15,000,000). Settling source for the township cut: U.S. Census manuscript products-of-industry and manufactures schedules, National Archives.
