Narrative

Is this John and Ann (Kelly) Donlon Farrell's household in 1840? If so, at least one of them had children from a previous marriage. There is a John Ferrell, born 1834 in Maryland, living in Wheeling in 1870, working for the B & O Railroad. Could he be the male age 5 to 10 in this household. Are there any Donlon children in this household?
