    In the 1860 census, the first child is still unmarried and inthe home, but the name is reported as Denerza, not Narcissa, apparently giving us the other given name.  I have no source to determine the order of the two names.  The age varies by three years, more than the normal one or two.  Reported ages on most of the chidlren varied in this census, although Ben and Rebecca's ages were appropriate.
