"What number of free which [white] males were there on that day, in this
family,
..... What number of slaves and colored persons were there on that day, in
this family? ...

Then one is to assume from this, that the previous assumptions were wrong
and that they [slaves] were a part of the questioned family and not of the
landlord if tenanted.
