I've added missing brother Georg Heinrich to this entry to show his relationship to the seven children starting with Child #4. Brother Ernst is listed below Georg Heinrich's children. Georg Heinrich's youngest child was born in 1845, so he probably died between 1845 and 1850; his death was listed in the 1850 census. His unnamed wife may have remarried but left her children with their father's family, or she, too, may have been deceased.
