52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks- John Ludlum 1790-1843

This week I thought I would do John Ludlum his birth date is somewhere abt 1790 in Horry South Carolina. The earliest census record I found was the 1830 Federal Census Record for Calhoun Illinois.
2 males under the age 5 ( one being John Quincy Ludlum ), 2 males between 5 and 10 yrs old, 1 male between 15 and 20 yrs old, 6 males between 20-30 yrs old ( might be farm helpers) and on male between 40 and  50 yrs old. ( John)
1 female under 5 yrs old ( Sarah Ann), and one female between 20- 30 yrs old ( Almira, John wife).

1840 Federal Census
1 male under 5 yrs old ( Alma), 1 male between 5-10 yrs old ( John Quincy) 1 male between 50-60 yr old ( John)
1 female under 5 yrs old ( Mary Versilla), 1 female between 5-10 yrs old ( Sarah Ann) 1 female between 10-15 yrs old ( ?) Almira is not on this census, she may have died before 1840.

According to probate records he died 17 Apr 1843, his estate was still being probated after 1850.
