The female in her 20's shouldn't be Rose because she married in March 1840. Or was the census taken that early in the year? Listed next to Wm. CISSEL (æ 70-80), who is likely Elizabeth's father.

The ditto marks after George's surname and Rose's surname line up with those from the prior record, indicating surname "Donahue," which is, of course, absurd. Rose RAINEY is George's daughter; Elizabeth and James A. are her children. There's some teeny, tiny word written after Sylvester's name that I cannot read. The ditto marks for George Jr. are an outright error because this is our subject's son, George Henson CARRICO, and his first wife, Elizabeth (BURRIS). Back then, "insane," could mean senile or retarded, not just "psychotic."
