Heinrich Schott is not listed in the 1857 census, but his wife, sons, and their families are. Although she is not listed as a widow, he was almost certainly deceased. If he died before 1850, his death would have been noted in the interim, male-only census that came out in 1850. Had he survived, he would have been 72 years old.

Grandchild #15 Heinrich Peter Schott, age 12 in 1850 [age 19 in 1857?], grandson by an unnamed son [probably Johann Philipp Schott, only son not mentioned in this census entry]
Grandchild #16 Johann Friedrich Schott, age 1 in 1850, deceased 1852, stepson of Heinrich Schott, illegitimate son of his wife Maria Barbara Schott, no other surname listed for him
Grandchild #17 Maria Katharina Schott, age 17, niece by an unnamed brother [probably Johann Philipp Schott, only son not mentioned in this census entry]
The above census lists three of the last four entries as children of an unnamed son. When holding the 1857 census listing side-by-side with the 1834 census, only son Johann Philipp Schott is missing from the family. Because his death is not noted, he probably died before 1850, at which time his death was noted in the male-only census that came out that year. Their mother had either remarried and was living with another family, or she was deceased.
The last entry is for Maria Katharina Schott, and instead of describing her as someone's child, she is described as someone's niece. It appears that she is in fact the older sister of Johann Jakob and Heinrich Peter Schott. By describing her as a niece, it points out her relationship to Heinrich Schott, the last child in the census. Yes, she was Heinrich Schott's niece, but that also made her the daughter of unnamed brother of Heinrich, Johann Philipp Schott.
All four of these children were the grandchildren of Johann Heinrich Schott of this profile and his wife Katharina Barbara, who became the head of the household after her husband's death.
