Transcriber's Notes:
#3-8 The Livsay children: none of their ages was given individually.
By the names of Martha and Gyinie was written 13 & 10; it was not really
clear which age each of them was. Then a squiggly line was drawn down
through the column for the rest of the children's ages.
#9 John Hughes: in the last column for his line, letters in question
do not extend above or below the line.
