Re: Seeking proof of father/son relationship
The 1850 census was the first one to list individuals in a household. If they were living together then it may be an indication that they were related. I do not remember if it lists relationships. If so, that would confirm it.

Re: Seeking proof of father/son relationship
The only other thing I can think of is if you can find the son's death certificate. It may list his parents.

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
The Federal Government does not ordinarily create or maintain birth, death, marriage or divorce records. Such records are made and kept by State and local governments rather than the National Archives. For birth, death, marriage records or will information, we suggest that you contact the State Archives of North Carolina, the Historical Society of North Carolina, the Person County Historical Society, the Person County Vital Records, and the FamilySearch Research wiki for North Carolina.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
