I went to the Nodaway County MO webpage, and found the 1850 census, all transcribed! The page below lists the GENTRY family, and in the household next door, the BRITTAIN family. This is Allen and Sally (BRITTAIN) GENTRY and I am assuming her brother's family next door. Thanks again Norma, for the info that steered me in this direction.
