There are 6 people in the household: 1 Male under 10, 2 males 16 thru 25, 1 male 45 and over [Stephen], 1 female under 10, 1 female 16 to 25. There are no females over the age of 45 listed, so Desire has passed away sometime before 1800.[6]

Stephen is assumed to have passed away in Alburgh, Grand Isle, Vermont, for this is where he was living in 1800.
