From the 1820 Federal Census, State of Ohio

Note about the 1820 census. There are 4 categories that overlap data.  Line 5 is white males 16 - 18, and line 6 is white males 16 to under 26.  1 person can certainly show twice in this situation.  Therefore it is difficult to place the number of people in the household without other supporting data.  This also occurs in lines 10 and 11, where it places females 16 - 18, and 16 - 26.
