Facts and Events
Name William Pringle
Gender Male
Birth? Abt 1766 Sumter (district), South Carolina, United States
Marriage to Elizabeth McCoy
Death? 12 Oct 1817 Sumter, South Carolina, United States

Children: 1. Elijah Pringle; 2. Mary "Polly" Pringle; 3. John Pringle; 4. William Pringle III; 5. Lavinia Pringle; 6. Christina Pringle

Assuming that the census records are correct (and using other information), the family could have looked like this:

husband: William Pringle, born 1766
wife: Elizabeth McCoy, born 1765
son: John Pringle, born 1786
daughter: born 1788
son: William Pringle, born 1793
daughter: born 1795
daughter: born 1797
son: Elijah Pringle, born 1799
son: born 1801
daughter: born 1805
daughter: born 1807

This would leave a male and a female aged 16-25 in the 1800 census unaccounted for. These could be siblings of either William or Elizabeth.

Alternately, given that this William probably fought in the Revolutionary War in 1780, his age in the 1810 census might have been incorrect, and if so, he could have been born as much as 10 years earlier.
