These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 males 4 or under 1835-1840 = William (b. 1839/40)

1 male 20-29 1810-1820 = Solomon (b. 1810/1)

1 person employed in agriculture

The only EULISS (or variation) in NC is Peter EULYSS in Chatham Co., which is adjacent to Alamance Co. This appears to be Peter EULISS (1803-1881) whose age would make him Penelope's brother.
