Ebenezer Berry
2 males over 16
3 males under 16

If all the children were recorded in the births and if all the ones still at home in 1790 are on the census, then one daughter and one son have either died or moved out. See Rebecca's notes--she may have been married by 1790 and in Monkton, VT, where her brothers Jehiel and Ebenezer were by 1800.
