These data indicate:

1 male 20-29 1800-1810 = James (b. 1803/4)

1 female 4 or under 1825-1830 = Eliza (b. 1829)

1 female 15-19 1810-1815 = Nancy (b. 1813)

Where are Catharine and Nancy? Are they simply in the wrong age classes? I hate to attribute this to enumerator error, but he was pretty sloppy.
