[These registers are apparently hand-written copies of the originals.  One entry had a notation "… on the original".  That is why all the "signatures" are obviously written by the same hand.  It also explains why the entry for "Sharp Roberson" in McLennon Co. is "signed" "Sharp McLennon" (copyist error; other McLennon names appear nearby). For this county, all residence durations say: In State: 1y, In County: 30d, In Precinct: 30d and so are all bogus.]
