This indicates that one daughter did not survive to the time of his will, 1847. The male age 20-30 is possibly George's brother Arguile, since Arguile does not seem to appear in the 1830 census, whereas his brother Colin C. King does.

Source notes

• By his will it appears that Julius A. King must be the uncle of Alphonso W. King, and thus the brother of William J. A. King (John). Julius A. King must be synonymous with Wm. Julius A. King, the 2nd child of George Washington King.

• There are two entries for Julius King in Paw Creek married to a Betsy. Ages are all about right...

Conjecture

The census for William John A. King and William Julius A. King are fully searched although not settled.
