Cousins, Do any of you happen to have access to the Newton county, GA area census for 1820? Since Newton was not created until 1821, I do not know where to look for my g2gfather, Benjamin B. King, though I do strongly suspect he was in the area in 1920 since he married my g2gmother, Elinor WOOD, in 1823 and folks back then didn't marry strangers that they had only known a short time. Benjamin was born in 1802 and he told his son that he was born in NC and his family took him to TN as a young child - I do not know whether his family also came to GA, or whether they were dead, or what - I can't find him in 1820. Please, if you have access to any census close to the area that became Newton county, would you please look to see if you see an 18yo King make in any household? THANK YOU!!!! Carol Carol
