Other significant info from 1850 census:
Of the 13 creditor of Andrew Jackson, Jr., only 5 were from Hancock County. (John Martin, Joseph Jack, Asa Russ, John Toulme, and Claiborne.)
James Johnston, age 59, was listed as a carpenter from North Carolina. He was probably the builder of the Jackson House, or "Sea Song."
Some Seals were from North Carolina, others from South Carolina.
Study of children's ages for those born in Hancock County, shows that some North Carolina arrived in Hancock County prior to 1830. Some Seals of SC arrived prior to 1830. Neoma Linore would have arrived no later than 1826, Amelia Carre by 1823.
Many householders seem to have been female (widows?).
The Carolina folks seem to "bunched" in the census, possibly indicating that their residences were near others from their same states.
About twice as many were from SC as compared to NC.
