1850 Illinois Census: Daniel Family

Not to be confused with George Daniels. This is the census of his wife Editha Adaline Daniel with her parents in Clay County, Illinois. The last name is actually given as "Danels" on this census. I've seen it spelled a multitude of ways, enough to make it confusing especially when Editha married a Daniels.

At the end of the household list there is a 21 year old female named Polina Danels and a child, probably hers, age 7/12 that shares the same name as the only son of Levi living in the house. Polina has the same last name making me wonder if she is the wife of an older son of Levi and Louisa.

Also the name of John Bishop. I have seen him listed as Louisa's brother though I have not verified it yet.
