male 19-25* 1794-1801 = Alexander (b. 1794/5)

female 16-25 1794-1804 = Matilda (b. 1799/1800)

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. By subtracting the number in column three from the number in column four, you can create an age class "19-25."
