It's hard to figure who all's living here.  Elizabeth's father died in 1797, and I suspect possibly her mother and siblings are living with them.

1 female 20-29 1810-1820 = Julianna (b. 1818/9)
1 female 50-59 1780-1790 = Elizabeth
The newlyweds, Isaac & Julianna, appear to be living with them (Isaac does not appear as head-of-household in the county).  I would guess that Henry WAGGONER was living with them, but a male that age is living with Henry's father, Peyton WAGGONER.

8.  1850 Census (online at GenealogyLibrary.com):  District No. 2, Christian Co., KY, p. 367, 118/123, enumerated 15 Aug 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):
Henry Clark 71 M Farmer 6500 NC  
Elizabeth " 61 F     Ky  
Elizabeth D. French 25 F     Ky  
William L. French 18 M Carpenter   Va  
Henry C. Wagoner 21 M     Ky *
Merredith Beck 25 M Overseer   Va  
*deaf and dumb
Elizabeth CLARK must be fibbing about her age.  William L. FRENCH was their grandson through their daughter Deborah, who died in 1835.  Was Elizabeth FRENCH also Deborah's child?  Henry C. WAGGONER was their grandson through their daughter Sarah; Henry WAGGONER's parents had moved to Missouri by 1850.
