These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 4 or under 1835-1840 = Son A

1 male 20-29 1810-1820 = Silas (b. 1809)

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Mary Ann (b. 1819)

Silas is in the wrong age class, and the child is the wrong gender, but given his neighbors, I'm inclined to believe this is our subject's household. Listed just below Silas's brothers, John Henry, Abraham, and Ralph; and listed one line above Silas's brother Francis B., who is one line above an Isaac G. THOMPSON, whose relationship is unknown. This enumerator did not record occupations, for anyone.
