These data indicate:

1 male 9 or under 1810-1820 = Stewart? (b. 1819/20)

1 male 10-15 1804-1810 = ?

1 male 26-44 1775-1794 = William

2 females 9 or under 1810-1820 = Mary (b. 1817/8?)
= Daughter A

1 female 26-44 1775-1794 = Sarah (b. 1795/6?)

1 person engaged in manufacture

The older boy was born before William & Sarah were married. Did William have a prior wife? Listed one line below an older Nathaniel HENRY, who is possibly William's father. Listed four lines below Isaac HUFFMAN and 18 lines above Christian HUFFMAN, who are probably Sarah's kin.

3. 1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #43 of 96; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1 female 15-19 1810-1815 = Mary (b. 1817/8?)

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = Sarah (b. 1795/6)

There's that older boy, again. Either Mary is in the wrong age class or she if fibbing about her age in later censuses.

4. 1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #55 of 111; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

2 persons employed in manufactures and trades

Sarah is in the wrong age class. Listed six lines above John HOFFMAN. The only other HENRY indexed in Shenandoah County has the given name, "Prince."

5. 1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #54-55 of 307): 58th District, Shenandoah Co., VA, pp. 28-29, 379/382, enumerated 24 Jul 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Sarah Henry 54 F 500 Va

Mary Henry 32 F do

Susan? Henry 24 F do

[next page]

Elizabeth Henry 22 F Va

Sarah Henry 20 F do

Stewart Henry 30 M do

Mary may be fibbing about her age. Why is Stewart listed last? Is he not Sarah's son? They are living next to Daniel HENRY (æ 38, b. VA, wife Rebecca), who may be the elder boy in the 1820/30 censuses, but if so, where was he in 1840? In the 1840 census, there is room in our subjects' household for only Daniel or Stewart, not both.
