Saml. Vanwinkle has 2 white males under 10, 1 white male 26 thru 44, 3 white females under 10, 2 white females 10 thru 15 and 1 white female 16 thru 25. The record also shows that there were 9 enslaved persons, but this seems to be an error since up until this time Samuel has barely been able to afford a horse or two. Perhaps, this should be on the line above or below Samuel.
