1 male 16-18 1801-1804 = John (b. ca. 1804)

2 males 19-25* 1794-1801 = Thomas (b. 1799)

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = James (b. ca. 1757)

1 female 9 or under 1810-1820 = granddaughter

1 female 16-25 1794-1804 = Louisa (STINGLEY) LYON (b. 1798)

*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25, which means any individual in column three is duplicated in column four. So, for an accurate representation of the household, the number in column three should be subtracted from the number in column four. If, after the subtraction, any individuals remain in column four, then they have to be age 19-25, thus creating a "new," more precise age class.

This is the only LYON(S) household in the county. John and Thomas have not yet married, and it looks like Michael and his wife are living with them. Michael married in 1818, and I can't find him anywhere else.
