These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 4 or under 1825-1830 = Benjamin (b. 1829)

9 male 20-29 1800-1810 = 8 boarders

1 female 15-19 1810-1815 = Dorothea

1 female 30-39 1790-1800 = boarder

There are many households on this page that have large numbers of males in the 20-29 age category. Are these boarding houses for miners?
