Matthew is in the wrong age-class, yet surely these are our subjects.

1 female 40-49 1780-1790 = Delilah (b. 1785/6)
It's a stretch to make this household our subjects — where did the girls go? and where did the boys come from? — but "Mathias Hale" is the closest I could come to Matthew Hale — and I checked every page of Henderson Twp., line-by-line.   Note that there is no Mathias Hale in Huntingdon Co. in 1820 or 1840.  Listed two lines from Shadrach CORBIN, who is next to Micajah CORBIN.

Mathew Hall 67 M   Farmer   Md
Delilah  " 64 F       Penna
Mathew   " 21 M   Laborer   "
Matthew's age appears to be too low because all earlier censuses have him born in the 1770s (i.e., he should be in his 70s, not his 60s).  Living between John HALL (æ 44, b. PA, wife Mary — twin daughters, Delilah & Mary), on one side, and Widow Eleanor (CORBIN) CORBIN, on the other side.
