Decoding 1810 Census [closed]

Question

https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/7613/images/4433433_00205?pId=450918  This census report from Luzerne County Pennsylvania lists 3 men named Ellsworth, apparently of different households. There are notations that give their age range, but I can't quite confidently parse them. Henry appears to have 4 persons in his household - two males and two females - but what ages are they?

The categories were

Free White Males  under 10, 10-15, 16-25, 26-44, 45 and over

and then the same age brackets for Free White Females.

"all other persons"  (except Indians on Indian property and enslaved people) were lumped into one cell, and there was a single cell for enslaved people.

Here's a link to the blank form:  1810 Federal Census form (archives.gov)

Oh, so useful!  I like it when they put the categories in the header at the top.
