10/03/2005: Possible Ties in Stokes County
Starting in 1820, William shows up, by name, in three Buncombe County censuses.
But, where did he come from?
Our William first appears in the 1820 Buncombe County Federal Census:
The 1820 Census shows him being between 26 and 45 which would put his birth between 1775 and 1794. The 1830 and 1840 censuses narrow his birth date range to between 1790 and 1800 (thanks, Carol!).
There was a Wolf line living in Stokes County about that time and the Stokes censuses show:
They also appeared in the 1790 Stokes and Surry censuses:
It's interesting to note that there are two separate, identical entries for "Gottlieb" and "Calup". I had read elsewhere that "Calup"/"Caleb" is the Americanized version of "Gottlieb". Gottlieb may have been visited by two difference census takers, as the identical stats would indicate.
Also of note, is Lewis. Brother Joe had talked to a Florida lady that claimed to know our William's origin. She wouldn't tell him though; she wanted him to "enjoy the hunt". She did tell him that "you need Lewis" and she hinted that there was an adoption involved.
Unfortunately, I don't recall her name. Maybe someone out there knows her. Please speak up if you do!
