  Census entries give us the names of children and others.

  Thompson matches William T in 1870.  Next door are Monroe and Hannah McSwain who were living in Allen's Household in 1870.  His wife appears to be a different person from the Hannah of 1870, since the name (Jane) and the age (27 instead of 35) are different.
  
  1880 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 3 June, Double Shoals (Township 9), District 73 (Ancestry.com transcribes as 72), page1A, Hse #2, Fam #3
  McSwain, Monroe  29 M W Farm Laborer NC  Married July 1870 Cannot read or write (b abt 1851)
  McSwain, Jane 27 F W  Keeps House  NC Married July 1870 (b abt 1843)
  
  We find out from the Hamrick Data Pages how this Monroe McSwain is related to Allen Dillard Hamrick and Susannah McSwain.  The following family group is reported in the Hamrick information.  You will find Thomas Bridges (b 1796) and his wife Salena Bridges in my database.  Susannah is this Thomas' sister.  So she is the great-aunt of James Monroe McSwain, listed in the 1870 and 1880 census as Monroe.
  
  McSwain, Thomas (*1824 - )
  father: McSwain, Thomas(1796 - 1872)
  mother: Bridges, Salena W "Frankie"(1793 - 1862)
