1790 census (Chester County, South Carolina): 1 male under 16 [William] and 1 female child [Jemima]
1800 census (Rutherford County, North Carolina): 1 male 10-16 [John], 3 males under 10 [Isaac, George, Joel], 1 female 10-16 [Jemima], 2 females under 10 [Celia, Susan]
1810 census (Rutherford County, North Carolina): 1 male 10-16 [George], 4 males under 10 [Joel, Amos, Elisha, Gilbert], 2 females 16-26 [Jemima, Celia], 1 female 10-16 [Susan], 2 females under 10 [Nancy, Polly]

The birth years of most of the children are estimated based on census records from 1790 to 1820, to account for the correct number of children of each gender in each age range, with the assumption that 1 or 2 children were reported in the wrong age range on occasion. The relative birth order of the girls was influenced by the birth year of the eldest known child of each.
The notes above show the census records as reported in The Waggoner Family with the names of the children that might have fallen into each age range. Other possibilities exist, including the possibility that one or more of the household members (especially in 1810, when Jemima may have already been married) were servants rather than children of the family.
