*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.

William is listed next to his son, W.W. WOODFORK, whose record is also blank. I guess if you're wealthy enough, you can tell the enumerator to take a hike.
