2.  1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  not found as head-of-household, so he is presumably unmarried.  (The only M./Mat* CARICO/CARRICO in the entire census is the one in his 30s in Washington Co., KY, who married Ruth O'DANIEL and died in 1842 — in other words, the one in Washington County is not our subject.)

3.  1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com):  not found as head-of-household, so he is presumably unmarried.  (The only M./Mat* CARICO/CARRICO in the entire census is the one in his 40s in Marion Co., KY, who married Ruth O'DANIEL and died in 1842 — in other words, the one in Marion County is not our subject.)
