Bill, I disagree with you regarding the child in Capt Charles Polk, Sr. (second wife Phoebe Helms) 1810 census age 0/10.
Do I dare?
1810 census - Males 0/10 (1) 45+ (1)Females45+ (1)
Why do I disagree?Where are the other young children.
Where are they? Where was George?
Charles Jr., William, Martha and Susannah Polk are in his household in 1800 Mecklenburg Co. NC.Where is Ezekiel born 1791 in 1800?He is only nine years old.
And how about Martha, she was only six, etc.Where are these young children and the others.
Ezekiel married in 1828, where was he in 1800 and 1810?
I suspect that during that time period, Capt Charles had his hands full and the children stayed with other relatives.I think Phoebe was the reason for the 0/10 age grandson was staying with them in 1810 (actually three years old).Charles was counted, but was he at home?Who were keeping the other children?
The oldest Charles, Jr. married ca 1807 based on his oldest child by Eleanor Shelby.William married in 1806.Susannah married about 1804.Ezekiel married in 1828.I don't know when Martha married. She married Moses Shelby but I understand that she died ca 1818. I have no children for her.George married in 1823.I don't know when or if Eleanor married.
1800 census -Charles Polk Salisbury, Mecklenburg, NC
Males10/15 (2)45+ (1)Females0/10 )1)10/15 (1)26/45 (1)
We may never know the reasons for the incomplete census records.
I know from Charles, Sr.'s pension file that everyone was desceased by 1855 except George W.
Capt Charles's widow (second wife) Philipeno (Phoebe) Helms
is a widow on the 1830 Lenoir Co. NC census.Her name is spelled Ferbythere are no males in her household, living alone age 60/70.Her daughter-in-law, Eleanor (Shelby) Polk (widow of Charles Jr. is listed next door to her
With one male 15/20, she is 40/50.Do you know where son this is?
I am ready to move on, how about you?
