Question whether Nancy, Eliza and Daniel are children of John P. and Linna Brown Dodson. In 1830 Federal census, Henry Co., GA, John P. Dodson's household listed with 1 male age 20 & under 30 & 1 female age 20 & under 30. In 1840 Federal census, Fayette Co., GA. John P. Dodson's household listed with 1 male age 30 & under 40 & 1 female age 30 & under 40. No children are listed in either census. In 1850 Federal census John's household includes wife Linna and Nancy age 28, Eliza age 20; and Daniel age 17. Nancy should appear in the 1830 Federal census in the under 10 age bracket, but no children's ages are given. Eliza was born ca. 1830; and Daniel was born ca. 1833; all 3 should have appeared in the 1840 Federal census, but no children's ages are given. Are these nieces and nephew?
