Jesse Jr? Yes JUNIOR!

In 1830 there are still 2 Jesse Caudills listed in western North Carolina. This time both are in Wilkes County. My guess is the younger Jesse has either actually moved back into Wilkes County or the census taker who entered his data didn't know what county they were in due to the closeness of the county line between Ashe and Wilkes.

This listing below for the younger Jesse has Junr after the first name. I think this listing is more conclusive than a book which mentions two possible fathers for Jesse P.
