He's probably not a child of Jeremiah since all the children of Jeremiah are listed, then Elisabeth Shirley, age 10, then Tampson. (The ages are out of order and Elisabeth probably doesn't belong to Jeremiah, so Tampson probably doesn't either. Also Tampson probably wasn't in the household in 1840.) Sampson Busby is 25 in 1860 and in Wayne Co. So is this Sampson the Tampson from 1850? (I don't have access to the film of the original 1850 census, so I can't check the spelling of the original.)
