  Isaac Lane head of household
  Males 1 Under age 5; 1 x 5-10; 1 x 10-15; 1 x 20-30; 1 x 50-60
  Females 1 x 5-10; 2 x 10-15; 1 x 20-30; 1 x 30-40; 1 x 50-60
  
  Isaac's father Tidence is enumerated next door to him as Tide Lane.  It is unclear where his mother Mary is, since Tidence is enumerated as the only person in his household.  I suspect she is with one of the children, perhaps taking care of children at the time of birth of a new gradndchild?  She is not in Isaac's household.  She did not die until 1851.

  E A Lane here does not match Eliza in the 1850 census, but since the last child was born just one month before the census, I must conclude that E A Lane here is Eliza Robinson Lane, who was reported as age 38 in 1850 though EA is reported as only age 41 in 1860!
  
  I cannot account for all the Robinson children here.  It seems likely that several of them are Eliza Robinson's children from her first marriage.  But note that by the age reported here, N C Robinson was born in about 1852, two years after Eliza married Isaac Lane, and after the birth of Eliza's daughter Mahala E Lane in 1850.
  
  For that matter, where is Mahala, who should be 10 or 11 years old.  Did she died before the 1860 census?
  
  Some of the Robinson children match Lane children reported in the 1850 census above.  Perhaps they were reported under the name Lane instead of Robinson.
  MA Robinson age 16 in 1850 may be Mary Ann Lain age 6 in 1850.
  Isaac Lain age 11 in 1850 matches I R Robinson 20 in 1860.
  In age, Orphy Lain age 9 in 1850 matches Barsheba Robinson age 18 in 1860.
  In age, Theodore age 2 in 1850 matches G W Robinson age 13 in 1860.
  
  But R E Robinson, age 23 in 1860, who matches Richard Lain age 13 in 1850, is reported as female instead of male.
