Linn Township, Moniteau County, Missouri

[2] This historic township included Jamestown, the settlements of Sandy Hook and Lupus, and all of the Missouri River coastline of Moniteau County, across the river from the Boone County settlements of Easley and McBaine.

In historical and genealogical records, Linn Township of Moniteau, across from Boone County, has sometimes been confused with the city of Linn in Osage County, which is located eastward and beyond all of Cole County, and opposite Callaway County along the Missouri River coastline.

This is one example among many of completely different towns and townships within the same state using the same name despite distances between them, and this complicated by the rare continued popular use of old township (county subdivision) names still appearing in historical records, nonetheless.
