Sol Finding #1145 shows that two facing pages of the 1845 reservation census cannot be read as a complete, disjoint birthplace partition of the enumerated residents.
Population abstract (printed p. 191): 3,753 persons on nine rows. Birthplace columns (printed p. 192): 3,514 NY-born + 37 other U.S. + 191 British possessions = 3,742. Net difference: 11.
Row discrepancies run both ways:
| Reservation | Residents | Birthplace sum | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oneida | 157 | 157 | 0 |
| Onondaga | 368 | 365 | +3 |
| Tuscarora | 312 | 316 | −4 |
| Buffalo | 446 | 440 | +6 |
| Cattaraugus | 808 | 796 | +12 |
| Cayugas on Cattaraugus | 114 | 114 | 0 |
| Allegany | 783 | 787 | −4 |
| Tonawanda | 505 | 507 | −2 |
| St. Regis | 260 | 260 | 0 |
| Total | 3,753 | 3,742 | +11 |
Short rows sum to +21; overfull rows sum to −10; net +11. An unreported birthplace could explain a short row, but not a row with more birthplace entries than residents. Tuscarora is the photographed 312, not the OCR “332.”
Limits. Published-return discrepancies only — not a determination of anyone’s birthplace or a single printer’s error. Distinct from #1142 (Oneida seven-person deduction), #1140 (St. Regis 360/260), and #1144 (Cayuga 197 composition).
