The name is this record is blurry and very hard to read, but it certainly could be Angeline/Angelina BRASHEARS. As for the adult male in the record, he's very likely a boarder, but in any case, he's clearly not head of household or the record would be in his name.

Joane " 7 F "

Frances Oneal 16 F "

Mary and Joane/Josie are using their stepfather's surname. Based on other records, Angelina has shaved a few years off her age and her daughters' ages, which is fairly typical for a woman her age seeking a husband. The "age deflation" here is further supported by the fact that Mary got married in 1853. Daughter Catherine is missing and presumed deceased.

James A.N. JIRDINSTON is Angeline's son-in-law, who appears to be widowed because the 20-year-old daughter of Angeline has to be Josie, whom we know is still living and marries in 1862.
