These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 5-9 1830-1835 = Philip (b. 1835/6)

1 male 20-29 1810-1820 = John (b. 1804/5)

1 female 4 or under 1835-1840 = Sophia (b. 1837/8)

1 female 5-9 1830-1835 = Mary (b. 1833/4)

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Elizabeth (b. 1812/3)

1 person employed in agriculture

John is tallied in the wrong age class, but surely this is our subject because the only other John HOLSINGER in the county has no daughters.
