Hi Earl: I don't want to be discouraging, but the 1830 census records for Kentucky only list the head of household. There were numerical designations for male/female and ages but not an individual listing. I don't have a copy of an 1840 census here at home, but I believe the household members weren't listed until 1850. Since he was only 4/14 years old, it would be unlikely that he would be a head of household. I will keep my eyes open for you in other documents, but I'm afraid this avenue is closed as far as a census listing.
