McSwain, Gabriel W 33 M Farmer North Carolina [born abt 1817]
McSwain, Elizabeth L 31 F North Carolina [born abt 1819]

Elizabeth McSwain 40 F North Carolina [born abt 1820]
Caleb O McSwain 15 F Mississippi [born abt 1845]
In 1870, Caleb is living in the household of James H McNatt, it appears. However, Caleb is listed first in the household, though he has no Real Estate or Personal Estate to report, while McNatt does. He is reported as a Huckster. The word did not have such a negatve connotation back then. I note that James is a Merchant, so probably Caleb worked for him as a salesman.
