There's obviously more here than just a nuclear family, so it's hard to know who is in the household besides David & Florida — aside from the sixty-three slaves!  There are no children living with Florida in the 1850 census, so it's uncertain whether either of the youngsters listed here are hers and David's children.  The teen-age male could be David's son from a prior marriage.  Listed six lines below Florida's uncle, Jefferson DAVIS, who is listed one line below Florida's father, Joseph DAVIS.
