No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 males 4 or under 1835-1840 = Joseph (b. 1837/8)
= Son A

2 males 5-9 1830-1835 = Simon (b. 1834/5)
= John (b. 1831/2)

1 male 15-19 1820-1825 = ?

1 male 30-39 1800-1810 = Samuel (b. 1807/8)

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Mary (b. 1812)

The teenage male is too old to be our subject's son. This enumerator did not record occupation.

I have no explanation for John being born in MD, except that he might be Samuel's (youngest) brother or nephew, though in which case he should have been listed last. I would have thought he was Samuel's son from a prior marriage, but Samuel & Mary were married several years before John was born — or is John's age wrong? One way or another, this appears to be an enumerator error of one kind or another.
