These data indicate:

1 male 10-14 1825-1830 = James? John?
2 males 20-29 1810-1820 = Robert (b. 1820)

The index has John located in "Quincy, Adams Co., IL," but the census page says, "Adams County enclusive of the City of Quincy, Ill.," which means there's no distinction between those located in Quincy and those outside Quincy.
