No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 white male 4 or under 1835-1840 = George Winchester (b. 1839)

1 white male 5-9 1830-1835 = William Francis (b. 1832)

2 white males 40-49 1790-1800 = William Burr (b. 1797)

1 white female 5-9 1830-1835 =

The two white females are in the wrong age classes, so it's hard to believe these are our subjects, but then again, if they aren't, I don't know who this family is or where are subjects are — and enumerators do err.
