Obituary for Cader Baucom, Susannah Baucom not found.
TWO CADER BAUCOMS in 1820 Williamson Co. TN Census. Many years ago Heritage Quest offered free on line access to US census records to members of some public libraries. They indexed TWO different Cader Baucoms in 1820 Williamson Co., TN census; both indexed as Bankum at Herritage Quest but it is clearly Baukum.: P 157 Cader Baukum m 111110 f 31010 (NOTE The ages of this Cader and his children match Susannah Fowler's husband) P 173 Cader Baukum m 200201 f 01010 (Never Found again) Neither Ancestry nor the LDS records even show a page 173 for some reason. This is clearly two different families. No other record has been found for the elder Cader. My speculation is that P173 Cader was the son of Ransom Baucom, brother of John who was Cader P157.
1830 Williamson Co., TN census ; Only the younger Cader was found and he was not found in 1840 census. I 125 of 208
