Henry

??1810 Kentucky Caldwell Eddyville 379
Deweese, Henry - 00100 // 00000 - single male 16-26 - Henry = 21
Caldwell County was the parent county of Hickman, which became Ballard, which is where a lot of our particular Deweeses ended up.

This is almost surely him - many Deweeses, including his nephew Henry (our ancestor) and many Samses moved there in the 1840s. Most of the
Deweeses moved back to Hickman/Ballard before the 1850 census.
1850 - not found
According to Jack Vaughan, he died about 1857 in Ballard County, Ky
