 8  Robert C. Maywood was an actor in the early 1800s.  He played the lead roles in
    three stage presentations of works by James Fenimore Cooper: The Spy, The Pioneers,
    and The Pilot.  Mr. Maywood also managed the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia,
    and was the step-father of Augusta Maywood, the first American ballet dancer to
    achieve the rank of Prima Ballerina in Europe.
10  The name could be Bennton or Brunton.  I would lean more towards Brunton.
18  The name is either Hewartt or Howartt.  I would lean more towards Hewartt.
18-23  There is an occupation listed for Isabella which looks like Geams or Germs Kross
    or Kroff.  I am certain that the first letter is a capitalized 'G', the fourth
    letter is an 'm' and the fifth letter is an 's'.  The next 5 ladies have a 'do'
    (for ditto) in the occupation column.
