-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.

+* John W. King is listed as the first child of John King and [[Elizabeth Unknown (McCormick)]] based on the wills of the parents and on his close association with the family in census and other sources.  There is not a direct source stating this relationship.

 | When all of the John King census results for 1790 - 1840 are plotted on a timeline, it is clear that there is more than one John King in Western Mecklenburg County during those years.  The first seems to have been born between 1755 and 1770.  This is likely the person buried at Steele Creek Presbyterian Cemetery.  There also apprears to be a John (maybe John W.) King born around 1790 and possibly a John I. King, born perhaps around 1820-30.  All of the citations can not be for the same person unless there are very great discrepancies in reported ages.  EBW 21 Aug 2007.
