2. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1830 (Broderbund CD-315): given how late in the year our subjects were married, it's most likely John was not enumerated as head-of-household. If the census were enumerated late in the year, the most likely candidates for our subject would be a Thomas COLE in Charlotte Co., VA, and one of the two John T. COLE's in Mecklenburg Co., VA, but a check of the page images at Ancestry.com shows all three are too old.

There are two obvious interpretations of this record: One is that Balem WARREN is a recent widower, that John H. WARREN is his son, and that they are boarding with Widow COLE. What argues against that interpretation is his age and the fact that he has only one very young child. Another interpretation is that Mary Burl and Balem are shacked up and that John H. WARREN is their illegitimate son, which may have something to do with contemporary secondary sources showing a son, "Harriet John T. COLE (1848-1849)," as having died young.
