This makes me wonder if perhaps William wasn't enumerated twice on the 1850 census, one within his family, one not. I've seen that happen before on census.
PLUS...in later years he's the only William showing up in York County.
In 1850 & 1860, there is only one John Ort who fits both the John (head of family) in 1850 and the John showing up in William's household in 1870.
1860 he shows up as follows:
John Ort Newberry, York, PA 62 abt 1798 Pennsylvania Male
household:
John Ort 62
Judith Ort 58
David Ort 30
John Ort 15
John A Ort 24
Catherine Ort 22
