Source Notes

• The 1850 census from Cherokee County has not been linked explicitly to our direct-line Kings; a lot of the names matched up so I included it here, even though Cherokee County is quite a ways away from Charlotte.
• No census found for Elizabeth in 1830 or later. This might indicate that she remarried or that she died prior to 1830.
• There is not definitive proof that John W. King was a son of John King and Elizabeth. However, much of the court and census record supports this conclusion.

R1	1850 United States Federal Census, (township not listed), Cherokee Co., NC, page 109, lines 32-42, and page 110, lines 1-9 list several King families living adjacaent to one another. RELATIONSHIP NOT ESTABLISHED. Name similarities are of interest; location is unexpected. In the fist house there is a John King, 49, married to an Elizabeth King, 47. They live with seven children: son James M. King, 27; son Degall[?] P. King, 20; son Daniel G.[?] King, 18; daughter Lucinda King,14; daughter Hannah E. King, 12; son Andrew M. King, 9; and daughter [unknown] M. King, 6. John, James, Degall, and Daniel are farmers. Everyone was born in NC. This Elizabeth is far too young to be the one found in the 1820 census. The next house on the list belongs to George W. King, 26, an his wife Mary A. King, 23. They live with two children: son John V.[?] King, 3, and son Zacariah T.[?] King, age 3 months. George is a farmer. They were all born in NC. The next house on the list belongs to William King, 28, and his wife Elizabeth King, 26. They live with five children: son George W. King, 7; son John F. King, 5; son James W. King, 4; daughter Susan L. King, 2; and daughter Martha P. King, age one month. William is a farmer. Everyone was born in NC except for Elizabeth, who was born in TN. Elizabeth is illiterate. George and John attended school within the census year. This census is dated 1 Jun 1850.
