These data should read:

which indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

3 males 9 or under 1800-1810 = John (b. 1809)
= Miles (b. 1807/8)
= Wesley (b. 1805/6)
= Thomas (b. 1804)

1 male 10-15 1794-1800 = ?

3 males 16-25 1784-1794 = Samuel (b. 1791-93)
= William
= Burgess

1 male 26-44 1765-1784 = Thomas (b. 1763)

1 female 9 or under 1800-1810 = Matilda (b. 1799/1800) or Daughter A

1 female 10-15 1794-1800 = Matilda (b. 1799/1800) or Daughter A

1 female 26-44 1765-1784 = Elsey

1 slave all ages in or bef. 1810 = name unknown

Was one of the boys tallied in the wrong age category? Or do we have one of the ages wrong? Or is John really their son?
