Here's my 1790 census sentence for head of household

[:CR:][:TAB:][PF] is <[M3]> head of household on the census <of [D]> <[L]>
<as [M2].> <[M1]>. Enumerated with him were <[M3]> <[R:Munder16], the free
white males under age 16,> <[R:M16+], the free white males over age 16,>
<and [R:Female free], the free white females>. <[M4]>

This is an example of my memo:
The household consisted of 1 free white male age 16 years and up, 4 free
white males under age 16 and 5 free white females||Rusell Emmons, a free
white male age 16 years and up||perhaps||There are 3 females that are not
accounted for

This is an example of the output:
Russell is perhaps head of household on the census of 2 Aug 1790 at
Litchfield Township, Litchfield County, Connecticut, as Rusell Emmons, a
free white male age 16 years and up. The household consisted of 1 free white
male age 16 years and up, 4 free white males under age 16 and 5 free white
females. Enumerated with him were perhaps William Emmons, Jesse Emmons,
Esquire Emmons and Alson Emmons, the free white males under age 16,. There
are 3 females that are not accounted for.

I use the early census to speculate on who may be in the household.
