  1790 Census Information
The 1790 census was the 1st Census of the United States.
However, while this is often a safe assumption to make, it is quite possible that one of the 3 females could be his widowed mother, or perhaps all three are his sisters.
The 1790 census was taken state by state, and county by county, and in some cases the counties were further divided by districts (such as townships, companies, etc.).

 John Wilkes
In 1774, however, he obtained that dignity, and he retained his seat for Middlesex from the dissolution in 1774 until 1790.
He moved in 1776 for leave to bring in a bill "for a just and equal representation of the people of England in parliament"; but attempts at parliamentary reform were premature by at least half a century.
Wilkes printed editions of Catullus (1788) and Theophrastus (1790), and at the time of his death had made considerable progress with a translation of Anacreon.

Since the 1790 census is the first we have, it is very possible that there were other children born in the long interval between 1753 and about 1772.
In 1790 there were two men named Charles Hutto on the Orangeburg census, both married, one with only two children and the other with none.
I propose that Benjamin (b ca 1790) was instead a son of Benjamin Sr’s brother Isaac, who did have a son living at home in 1800 who was born in the 1790 time frame.

 Benjamin Turner (bef 1774) of Georgetown (Prince Frederick Parish), SC
Benjamin Turner was born before 1774 (per his age of 16+ on the 1790 census).
That other Benjamin had a proven son named Benjamin as named in his Will of 1821 (Williamsburg Dist, SC Will Book A page 248), and I have not found any other record of that Benjamin (Jr), except that he was old enough in 1821 to be named as one of the Executors of the Will.
Although it is far from proven, I'm think this Benjamin Turner (bef 1774) did live in the Williamsburg area and was somehow related to the other Benjamin Turner (1755/65), perhaps his son.

 CAUDLE SURNAME INFORMATION
Although I do not known with absolute certainty that Christiana was born in Chatham County, it is fairly certain that she was born in North Carolina.
Therefore, it would seem logical that her parents, or at least, her grandparents should be listed on the 1790 North Carolina census since she was born around 1791.
Since the county of her birth is still in doubt, I have chosen to look at all the CAUDLE families in North Carolina during this time period.

If in 1790 a man was 16 or over, we know only that he had been born by 1774.
If in 1800 he was 26-45, we still know he was born by 1774, but we've added the knowledge that he was born after 1755.
If he was lucky enough to have survived until the 1830 census and he gave his age as 50-60, we would know that he was born between 1770 and 1780.

 Canada in the Making - Constitutional History
The Québec Act, 1774, brought some measure of peace to the province - although British merchants kept campaigning for English law and an elected Assembly.
These campaigns might have been ignored if it were not for the event that rocked the continent: the American Revolution.
This was attributed in part to the Québec Act, 1774, which protected the Catholic faith and the social hierarchy - something they doubted that Americans would do.

By far the most influential eighteenth century author was Philips Jacobszoon, with a series of publications (1765, 1767, 1775, 1780, 1781, 1785, 1786, 1788, 1803, 1823, 1827), notable for his use of mirrors and other instruments in connection with perspective.
The chief author at the time, however, was Kästner whose interests ranged from conic sections to mathematical perspective in general (1758, 1759, 1764, 1771, 1774, 1786, 1790, 1792, 1796, 1800).

 Richard Gill, Senior, of Richland County, SC,  (Barnwell) Allendale County, SC and Clarke County, AL
A Barnwell deed states that Richard was a brother to Valentine, and therefore Richard Gill is a son of James Gill, since Valentine is documented as a son in a deed (see Valentine).
I conjecture that these two sons were born in 1790 +/- one year.), 3 daughters under 10 (born 1790-1800), wife 16-26 years of age (born 1774-1784), and one slave, who was not present in the 1790 census.
Children of Richard Gill (son born before 1774 in the 1790 census, son born before 1774 in the 1790 census, son born 1774-1784 in the 1800 census, son born 1774-1784 in the 1800 census) I interpret the 1790 and 1800 census records to imply that Richard had two sons born in 1774.
