These data indicate:
No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred
1 male 4 or under 1835-1840 = Collin (b. 1838/9)
1 male 30-39 1800-1810 = Elijah (b. 1806) 
1 male 50-59 1780-1790 = father? father-in-law?
1 female 4 or under 1835-1840 = Susan (b. 1835/6)
2 females 5-9 1830-1835 = Elmira (b. 1834)

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Leah (b. 1811/2)

Did Elijah have a prior wife?  He is old enough.  That would explain the older daughter — and the age difference between Elijah and Leah.
