These data indicate:

No. & Sex	Age Class	Therefore Born	Individuals Inferred
3 males	9 or under	1810-1820	= Son D = Son C = Son B
1 male	16-18	1801-1804	= Son A
1 male	45 or over	in or bef. 1775	= Thomas
2 females	9 or under	1810-1820	= Daughter C = Daughter B
1 female	10-15	1804-1810	= Daughter A
1 female	16-25	1794-1804	= Wife? Daughter?
3	in agriculture
*In the 1820 Census, the third column is age class 16-18 and the fourth column is age class 16-25; therefore, any individual in column three is duplicated in column four.

Son A and, probably, Daughter A are too old to be the children of the current wife.  Thomas almost certainly had an earlier wife.  Whether or not he's the Thomas THOMPSON who married Judith DAUGHERTY in Christian Co. in 1815 is another question.  Can't be sure.  It's also possible that the eldest female is not his wife, but his eldest daughter.  It's odd that the record lists "3 in agriculture" because  I see only two males over 16.
