Adaline's age was given as "57" in 1850 - should have been 37? The Warde book gives the year of her birth as 1814, 1812 is from the family record below which would make her only a year younger than her brother Peter. She was not in the 1860 census, Fred was the youngest child with B. M. Harrison and he was age 7.
