Census records for Caswell Mobley:

1810 - ?
Caswell Mobley should be listed as a male child with his father Jesse Mobley in Wake County, North Carolina. I have not yet located this record.

1820 - ?
Caswell Mobley's father, Jesse Mobley, died in February 1811. His mother, Hannah Harrison Mobley, married John Terry, June 22, 1811. In 1811 Caswell Mobley and his siblings were placed into the guardianship of their aunt, Mary "Molly" Mobley Lowrey and her husband Jehu Lowry. John and Hannah Terry moved to Lancaster County, South Carolina before 1815. John Terry died before 1820. Caswell Mobley would have been about nineteen in 1820. I have not located him as head of household on an 1820 census and do not know in whose household he might have been living at that time. (Source of most of the information in this paragraph is Caswell Mobley and His Descendants by George L. Irwin, MD.)
