Truman Waller in 1790 US Census

I tried to find Truman Waller in the 1790 US census at familysearch.org, and of course it was transcribed incorrectly!!!!!
At the present time, we cannot make corrections.  I have written to familysearch before, and all they tell me is to keep track of any mistakes I find at familysearch.org, and eventually (don't hold your breath) we will be able to add corrections or at least different opinions.   

 If you look for 'Freeman Waller' the link will come up, however, the place, Columbia County has been added, instead of Washington County.  the next page of the actual record has Columbia County in big letters, so someone has mistakenly used Columbia and not Washington as the place!!!

Below is the link to the actual census for Truman Waller (to view this record, you need a familysearch.org account, which is free.  It will prompt you to sign up for a familysearch account if you don't already have one. The ancestry.com link is NOT free.  It is worthwhile to have a familysearch.org account, as it lets you access more info on some of the records, also, you will need this account to access the Family Tree feature on the website when it becomes available later this year.)
