      [These ages are wrong. Mathew was the son of the family before - brother Joseph's and the age is 2/12. The 2 crosses the bar and makes it look like a 4. Mathias' name was omitted and the ages are off by one person. Should be Mathias 34, Martha 33, Peter 7, Mary J 4, and Thomas would have been about 2]
