Note: much of the above information appears suspect.
a) Nancy and Elizabeth were clearly born in OH not IL since
the 1840 census and family records agree the family did not
move to Illinois until after 1840.
b) No other source lists Germany as the birthplace for anyone.
c) All of the neighbors are listed as parents born Germany,
with children born Illinois.
d) Several of the children's ages do not match any later census.
e) No age is listed for George.
f) The youngest children should be Harriet 5, Leah 2-3, and Rebecca 2
according to later censuses and family records
Taken together, the above suggests the information was obtained from
a neighbor who was not familiar with where they came from before
Illinois (i.e., Ohio) or the names and ages of the youngest children.
