First, someone other than David gave the info to the enumerator as David wasn't born in VA and he knew where his parents were born. Second, there are two persons here married within the year, William and Lucy. IF Lucy is William's wife, she is properly listed as a daughter-in-law but it is unlikely she would have been 39 yrs old. As she and her parents birth states are the same as Mary's, then could Lucy have been Mary's sister? Then her age of 39 years would make more sense.
