I’m not related to any member of this family.
1930 is the last available and searchable census at this time.
Facts you should know about the early census records -
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.
NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]
1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.
Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"
1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members
1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces +++

story -
COCK, Thomas G.
source: 1883 History of Henry Missouri , National Historical Co., pg: 808
--- Thomas G. Cock, farmer and stock raiser was born April 14, 1824, in Campbell County, Virginia. His father, Chastain Cock, was born there, June 22, 1793, and by trade a tanner. He subsequently abandoned his trade and engaged in farming. His mother, formerly Mary Bronson, was born June 22, 1797, in Campbell County. They were married June 22, 1815, and to them were born eight children, six sons and two daughters, only one of whom is living. Thomas Cock received but a limited education in youth, and in November, 1833, he emigrated with his parents to Christian County, Kentucky, where he remained four years, then removed to White Township, Benton County, Missouri. For ten years he farmed in that county, and on September 22, 1847, he married Miss Martha Bishop, of Kentucky, born February 3, 1828. By this union there were six daughters and two sons, all of whom are living. In December 1847, he removed from Benton County to Osage, Henry County, where he commenced farming for himself. Two years later he sold his claim and began working for his brother in Springfield, with whom he continued one year. He then bought a claim and has added to his original purchase, until he now owns 560 acres. Mrs. Cock died February 6, 1865. November 21, 1865, he married Mrs. Henrietta L. Huff, of Johnson County, Missouri, widow of Dr. William Huff, and daughter of Maj. John W. Williams, of Henry County. They have had three sons, two of whom are living. In 1874, Mr. C. was elected township trustee, serving for two years. Himself, wife and six of his daughters are connected with the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. The father of Mrs. Cock, Maj. John W. Williams, was born October 10, 1797, near Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee, and before his recollection, accompanied his parents to what is now Simpson, then Warren County, Kentucky, His father, John Williams, enlisted in the continental army at the commencement of the revolutionary war, and continued in service until its close. He commanded a volunteer company in the northwestern army in the war of 1812, and served in the senate of Kentucky ten years. His son, John W. Williams, after he had grown to manhood, filled various offices in his. county, and was sheriff for several years, and had the honor of serving his county in the Kentucky legislature in the years 1833-4. In the year 1836, he moved with his family to Missouri, and settled in Henry County, near where he died. He filled the office of brigade inspector or drill officer for seven years. He was a member of the Missouri legislature in the years 1854-5, and was school commissioner for several years. He had been a member of the Baptist Church for thirty-seven years. When the civil war commenced he opposed secession, and being between sixty and seventy years of age, resolved to remain at home, and did so throughout the troubles. He died at his home, January 23, 1876. Mr. Williams, during his long career as a citizen of Henry County, held various offices of trust at the hands of the people of his county, and also filled his. official station with honor to himself and his constituents.
