I went back to check my printed 1860 census of Pike County and this shows him to be exactly a year younger than yours, but an error of a year or two in birth dates is pretty routine.I looked at my own notes from the 1860 and later censuses and see I had skipped over this family.
Yes, I've seen "F"s that could look like a "T" and vice-versa.I do have a record of a George Farley Ratliff in Pike County, KY, but he was born in 1837.
Now regarding Eliza in the census instead of Louisa - this may not be a problem because in the Big Sandy Valley the name Louisa was commonly rendered as Levisa or Vicy.Eliza and Levisa can sound fairly similar.
It might be a good idea for you to check the spelling in the 1860 census as it was originally written to see if you think that F could be a T.Errors such a this in transcribed records are very common.You need to try to find your George Ratliff in the 1870 and 1880 census and see if it looks like he is still a part of this same family.
