1 White Male 10-15
1 White Male 25-44 (Thomas)
1 White Female 16-18
Lavinia is not listed above unless she was mistakenly listed as a male under 10. The female that is listed would appear to be too young to be Thomas' wife if the children listed are, indeed, his. In that case, it would appear that Thomas had a wife before Sarah.
