First time two Jesse Caudills are listed on the US Census in western North Carolina


There was a Jesse Caudill & family listed on the 1800 & 1810 US census in Wilkes County North Carolina. These listings cannot be Jesse P because he would have been 5 years old in 1800 & 15 years old in 1810. I think Jesse P was residing in those households in 1800 & 1810 but the head of household would be his father. (The 1830 census is what I think proves Jesse P's father was also named Jesse.)

In 1820 there are two Jesse Caudills listed, one on the Ashe County North Carolina and one in Wilkes County North Carolina. The property where Jesse P lived most of his life and where he's buried sits very close to what would have been the county line between Ashe and Wilkes in 1820. 

Jesse P married Sara Roberts in 1817. Below on this copy of the 1820 US Census is  the first time Jesse P (age 25) and family are listed on a census:

1820 US CENSUS (click on image to enlarge)
Ashe Co., NC (M33/81/25)
Head of household: Jese Cauddle
Males: 0-9yrs(1), 10-15yrs(0), 16-18yrs(0), 16-25yrs(1), 26-44yrs(0), 45+yrs(0)
Females: 0-9yrs(0), 10-15yrs(0), 16-25yrs(1), 26-44yrs(0), 45+yrs(0)

The Jesse Caudill below is listed in 26-44 year old column. He was most likely in the upper part of  that age range from looking at the ages of the other occupants listed.
