        In this 1820 census, he appears to be living with just his wife (age 16-26) and two children under the age of 10. He's listed in the 26-45 year-old category.

        [After the death of his first wife, it appears that by the 1850 census, John has gone back to Bath County and is living near many families of Cassity's, this being the maiden name of his mother.]
