Answer: OCR appears to take us through 1823, but is messy. So it can be consulted as we proceed.

@SavannahRicks @tylerakam We could peer into these OCR files (linked and in directory) to search for text strings representing unclear/unfamiliar names and get a sense whether they are mentioned later.

These files represent the results of cleaned-up Optical Character Recognition (OCR) scans, turned into simple XML, but still contain errors from the OCR process. The OCR was run over the Coles typescript--so it absolutely does not represent the handwritten manuscript.
