In her analysis of the censuses, Diana Gale Matthiesen asks some good questoins abotu the children in the census, based on her analysis of all the censuses.

Where is Rosannah?
Theresa and Melissa should be seven years old, not five.
It's Rosannah who should be five.
The children from Andrew on down, at least, had to have been born in GA because they were in GA by the 1840 census.
