Sources (n.b., Caswell Co. was formed in 1877 from Orange Co.):

1. Marriage Record:

2a. 1790 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): the only THOMPSON indexed as being in Caswell Co., NC, is Cuthburt, but the image is missing.

2b. 1790 Census Index/Images (online at Genealogy.com): the only THOMPSON indexed as being in Caswell Co., NC, is Cuthburt (Richmond Tax Dist., Roll M637-7, Part 3, Page 4), but the image is missing.

2c. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1790 (Broderbund CD-311): there are three THOMPSONs indexed as being in Caswell Co., NC: Cuthburt (p. 81), Nancy (p. 91), and Nicholas (p. 91). If Nancy is a widow, already, how did she have a son in 1794? Was it a different Nancy?

3. 1800 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #36 of 55; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1800 NC Caswell Co. Hillsboro Roll 31 p. 130/719 Ln. 15 Ann Thompson 11000-01401-00

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 9 or under 1790-1800 = James (b. 1794/5)

1 male 10-15 1784-1790 = John (b. 1783/4)

1 female 10-15 1784-1790 = Patience (b. 1789/90)

4 females 16-25 1774-1784 = Daughter D
= Daughter C
= Daughter B
= Daughter A

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1755 = Ann

Is the enumerator here or in 1800?

4. 1810 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #25 of 28; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1810 NC Caswell Co. Roll 38 p. 71 Ln. 8 Thompson Nancey 00200-00301-01

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 males 16-25 1784-1794 = James (b. 1794)
= John (b. 1784)

3 females 16-25 1784-1794 = Patience (b. 1789/90)
= Daughter D?
= Daughter C?

1 female 45 or over by 1765 = Nancey

1 slaves all ages by 1810 = ?

Is the enumerator error here or in 1790? Or are the older girls fibbing about their ages?

5. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #49 of 57; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1820 NC Caswell Co. Roll M33_81 p. 91 Ln. 14 Nancy Thompson 000010-00031-0-100 no slaves

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 26-44 1775-1794 = James (b. 1794)

3 females 26-44 1775-1794 = Patience (b. 1789/90)
= Daughter D?
= Daughter C?

1 female 45 or over in or bef. 1775 = Nancy Ann

1 person engaged in agriculture

Neither John nor James is married at this point, so presumably one of them is working out, and I'm going to assume it's the older one.

6. 1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #101 of 112; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1830 NC Caswell Co. Roll 119 p. 313 Ln. 2 Ann Thompson 000 - 000 002 010 010 no slaves

These data indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 females 30-39 1790-1800 = Patience (b. 1789/90)
= Daughter D?

1 female 50-59 1770-1780 = Daughter C?

1 female 80-89 1740-1750 = Nancy Ann

Nancy Ann may be inflating her age, while her unmarried daughters are probably shaving off some years. Listed next to married son, James Hilton THOMPSON.
