If Caswall was born in 1814, how can it be that 20% of hymnals published in 1800 contained his "Jesus, the very thought of Thee"?

Most of these are from the DNAH data which was generic - all hymns with the first line "Jesus, the very thought of thee" or "Jesus the only thought of thee" were lumped together with the translator being Edward Caswall. We haven't looked at all the DNAH hymnals yet.
