Two of these children were born before our couple married. Are they siblings? Nieces?/Nephews? Listed four lines from Widow Nancy STEERMAN (in her 50's).

This tally does not jibe with 1850. Is this enumerator error? Listed eight lines from Widow Nancy STEERMAN (in her 60's), who is next to John STEERMAN (in his 20's).

4. 1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #7 of 24): Greenup Pct., Cumberland Co., IL, Roll M432_104, p. 289A, 49/49, enumerated 31 Aug 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Is Thomas's age inflated here? Or was he tallied incorrectly in 1830 and 1840?
