    NOTE: indexed as Downer but it is definitely a "y" at the end. John, b. 1792 should have been 27-28 so should have been listed in the >26 column. Hard to read the "6," could have been misread as an "8." Must include siblings of either Joh of Mary.

    NOTE: ages are a little off 10<15 male doesn't fit w/ known children of John and Mary. Still possible as they were married in 1817 or he could be a younger sibling of John or Mary. Other 3 males 15<20 could be siblings of either John or Mary.
