This record could be interpreted as John being the eldest male, but it's a better fit with Reyderus as the eldest male, which also solves the problem of where Reyderus was in 1800. Three sons have either died or left the nest.

4. 1810 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): there are several John BIRDs in Logan Co., KY.
