It would seem that Nancy Dorsen had been married before she married Gilbert and the children listed as living with them include those from her first marriage. Perhaps Dorsen is not her maiden name then. Gilbert and his family are living next door to his sister Mary who had married Isaac Doyle.
Several houses away is found the following family:
Jefferson Lowe, 33, born in TN
Louisa, 30, born in AL
Sarah, 11, born TN
Elizabeth, 9, born GA
James, 7, born GA
Octavia, 5, born GA
Katharine, 2, born GA
Richmond, 4, born GA
Martha, 3, born GA
Eli, 1, born GA
Levi 1, born GA (twins)
The last 4 children are clearly the children of Gilbert Bryant and Nancy. This family is living next door to a Mrs Mary Bryan, 46, born NC.

Moses Bryan is the father of Gilbert Bryan and is living with his second family there. Next to Moses is living William Bryan who is probably his brother.
