Childen with Susanna SCHRECENGOST — born in Armstrong Co., PA:
  1.  Sarah Jane LIAS, b. 21 Jul 1833
  2.  James William LIAS, b. 1 Jul 1835
  3.  McKendria C. LIAS, b. 13 May 1837
  4.  Eliza Ann LIAS, b. 15 Oct 1843
  5.  Asbury Mathias LIAS, b. 15 Dec 1845
  6.  Elizada Caroline LIAS, b. 16 Mar 1846
  7.  Leander Emory LIAS, b. 21 May 1848 — he's not in the 1850 Census
  7.  Lucinda LIAS, b. 1847/8
  8.  Cyrus Bascom LIAS, b. 29 Nov 1850
  9.  Curtis Erastus LIAS, b. 8 Jun 1853
10.  Mary Canarisa "Cannie" LIAS, b. 18 Mar 1856
11.  Laura Christina LIAS, b. 8 Dec 1858

In the 1850 Census, there is no question that the census-taker wrote "Lucinda" for the 2-year-old child and that no "Leander" was listed.  I'm not sure where the error lies here.

3.  1850 Census Index/Microfilm (online at GenealogyLibrary.com):  Cownshanock Twp., Armstrong Co., PA, p. 228B, 128/130, enumerated 6 Sep 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):
Jacob Lias 49 M Farmer 2000 Pa
Susannah " 37 F     "
James    " 14 M     "
McKindria " 13 M     "
Eliza    "  7 F     "
Asbery   "  5 M     "
Elizada  "  4 F     "
Lucinda  "  2 F     "
Jacob's birth and death dates above are said to be from his tombstone and death certificate, so the census-taker appears to be in error, that is, Jacob should be 39, not 49.  The mistake seem even more likely because an 1801 birthdate would be four years before his parents' marriage.  Still, the later censuses should be checked.  Perhaps his parents' married date is incorrect.
