Two ( male and female) of the eight are listed as paupers. They may be husband and wife but I can't tell because none of the eight are young enough to be their children. The male pauper is lso listed with the occupation of laborer. The head of household appears to be a 50 year old Chandler widow. Doea pauper mean destiture? Or, does it mean receiving subsistence? Thanks
