  NOTE - They had a total of 7 male and 6 female children but the 1800 census shows only 6 males and 5 females, one less in each gender. Anna who would have been 27 years old for this census was either married and living elsewhere or could have died prior to this census. Without additional birth date information, it can not be determined just which one male was not included on this census.
  
  Of the four daughters without a specific birth date, their ages could span from the minimum age category of newborn (under 10) to a maximum age category of 16. This means their birth years would be "Between 1784-1800": Catherine, Mary, Casandra, and Elizabeth.
  
  Of the five males without a specific birth date, their ages could span from the minimum age category of 10 to a maximum age category of 26. This means their birth years would be "Between 1774-1790": Henry, Jacob, John, Frederick, and George.
