In 1810 Thomas Ivory lives in Argyle Town, Washington County New York.
He is age 26-44. One woman in the household is age 16-25. A little girl under ten lives with them as does and older woman age 45+.
I think Thomas's brother either William or Jabez lives with them as a male age 10-15 is also in the household. Thomas's father, John Ivory lives in the next household. Either Jabez or William still lives with John and his wife, but not both of them.
