No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 5-9 1830-1835 = ?

1 male 20-29 1810-1820 = Jonathan (b. 1817/8)

1 female 4 or under 1835-1840 = Tryphena (b. 1833/8)

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Eleanor (b. 1817/8)

1 person employed in agriculture

The boy is really too old to be their son, and he doesn't show up in 1850. So, who is he, a younger brother?
