John and Listmembers,

The curious thing here is that Ohio Township, in a current day atlas, is
in Allegheny County. I sometime ago noted that Ohio and Moon Townships
(maybe others) were listed with Beaver county in the 1850 census. I
don't know the answer to this curiosity. Maybe someone can shed some
light on this.
