There were no sons in the household in the 1820 census, so the teenage males cannot be our subjects' sons — unless they were twins born in late 1820.

The woman in her 30's is too old to be our subjects' daughter.

For some reason, nearly all of the ages are off.  Was the informant one of the children?

5c.  1850 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com; Image #14 of 40 — mis-indexed "Cripp"):  Lanier Twp., Preble Co., OH, p. 304B, 1050/1057, enumerated 29 Aug 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Stephen Cloyd	51	M		Farmer	4700	Virginia
Eliza     "	41	F				"
[Stephen & Eliza's eight children]
Lewis Cupp	21	M				Virginia

Did Lewis manage to get himself enumerated twice?  (It sometimes happens when I child is working out of the home.)  He is listed five households from Andrew CUPP, who is the right age to be Lewis's brother, except that Andrew's parents are not our subjects.
