These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 15-19 1810-1815 = ?

1 male 20-29 1800-1810 = Richard (b. 1800)

1 female 4 or under 1825-1830 = Anna (b. ca. 1830)

1 female 20-29 1800-1810 = Harriet

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = ?

Hard to say who the additional individuals are. I wonder if Richard had an earlier wife.

3a. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1840 (Broderbund CD-316): not found, but I did find Joseph, and a check of the numbers shows the lone widower is living with his parents (see next source).
