The 1810 Rutherford County census has 3 Metcalf families: Warner and Danza, both over 45, and William(s) (26-44)

In 1810, Warner and Danza Metcalf are listed side by side in Rutherford, each in the same age category. Each has five sons; Warner has 2 daughters while Danza has four.

The 1820 Rutherford County census has 4 Metcalf families: Danza (>age 45), William(s) (36-45), Daniel (>45), and Warner (>45)

The 1830 Rutherford County census has four Metcalf families: Bradley (age 30-40), Williams (40-50), Andrew (20-30), and Warner (two men: 40-50 and 60-70).

By 1830, Warner only has one other make, age 40-50, in his household. Did the rest of his sons (from a decade earlier) all leave home, even in their teens, or did they die?

Note: Both Danza (75) and Warner (72) were placed on the US Pension Roll in Jan 1834, both having served as Privates [in the Revolution, one presumes].

Is this a son and his wife in the home? Or is it Katie, her husband and children? The children, I assume, are grandchildren of Warner and Elizabeth. ___________________________________________________
