Notes
Census
The John Moore [sic] household was enumerated on the 1800 census. Individual members other than the head of household are not individually named. A comparison of the ages of the family members with number shown in the various age brackets appear to include all members of the family that would have been in the household at the census date. The total household consisted of 11 members. I believe the corresponding members of the household as enumerated were: (a) 2 free white males under the age of 10 [Leonard aged 5 and Calvin aged 1]; (b) 2 free white males aged 10 to 15 [Jabez aged 13 and Martin aged 9]; (c) 1 free white male aged 16 to 25 [John Jr. aged 17]; (d) 1 free white male aged 26 to 44 [John aged 41]; (e) 2 free white females under the age of 10 [Jemima aged 3 and Cynthia aged 1]; (f) 1 free white femaled aged 10 to 15 [Pamelia aged 11]; (g) 1 free white female aged 16 to 25 [Elizabeth aged 15]; and (h) 1 free white female aged 25 to 44 [Elisabeth aged 36].Census
The John Mower household was enumerated on the 1810 census. Individual members other than the head of household are not individually named.

The total household consists of 7 members. I believe the corresponding members of the household as enumerated were: (a) 2 free white males under the age of 10 [Oliver aged 8 and Josiah aged 5]; (b) 2 free white males aged 10 to 15 [Leonard aged 15 and Calvin aged 11]; (c) 1 free white male aged 16 to 25 [Martin aged 19]; (d) 1 free white male aged 45 and older [John aged 51]; (e) 2 free white females aged 10 to 15 [Jemima aged 13 and Cynthia aged 11]; and (f) 1 free white female aged 45 and over [Elisabeth aged 46].Marriage
