I need 5 WM to fill in the top 2 rows. Birth years would need to fall between 1821 & 1830. Son Jesse's birthday was Nov 1820 (would they have included him on the census?), son Burrell born 1823 would fit, son William born 1825 would also fit, John Ellison was born 1825 he would fit, IF he was their son. Their other son Absalom was married in 1826 therefore he would not be living in the home anymore.

Speculation about Dempsey born 1811 and David born 1815 being sons. Even if they were dates would not fit.
