1800 Census would indicate that son William - age 13 - may not have been part of the household. Need more research to have any theory on this.
1810 Census - no Ambrose Grizzard listed
1820 Censu - Edney Grizzard shown as head of household in Wake Co. Ambrose was deceased.
In the 1820's, several children were married in NC, in Wake Co. - so the family was on the western side near Raleigh. However, William Grizzard married Mary Powell in 1810 in Davidson Co., TN, which means that William left NC well ahead of his mother and siblings.

Sir
I am Informed that one of our traders, named Ambrose Grizzard is now in Confinement in Pensacola, for what offense I have not learnd. If tis on Suspicion of his being a Spy, tis Without foundation, he being encourgaged by the report of other traders that have been at Pensacola Selling Negroes, he asked & obtained my permission not doubting if any Intercourse or traffic had been at any time allowed to an Indian trader he woud meet with the same Indulgence. ; I am now Sensible of my error in permitting the Man to go: the bearer of this is Brother to Grizzards wife. ; I have taken this opportunity of demanding the Immediate Liberation of Grizzard & that he may be Shewn an Indulgence equal to any that Have before him been there, on the Contrary the King of Spains Garrisons, cannot be Sufferd to enjoy the tranquility, they have hitherto done from the Creek Nations. Such usage must rather make them be Considerd Enemys.
