Hello fellow King researchers: As you know, I am searching for the history of my GRT-GRT-GRT Grandfather William King. (He married Sarah Garner and lived many years in Claiborne County Tennessee.) We have known for some time he was born in Scott County Virginia in 1779, and Sarah was born in 1781. I just got the 1820 Scott County Virginia Census papers showing ONE William King! I know Scott was made up of 3 other counties, but this list of family is just too close NOT be him. There are also 2 other King household heads listed - 2 John King listings. Could one or both be related to my William? One John King is a single man over the age of 45. The other is a John King over age 45, with a wife over 45, and 2 boys (one under 10, one 10-16) and 3 girls (one under 10, one 10-16, and one 16-26). Could the single John King over 45 be William's father? Could the other John King be his brother? I figured the ages and compared them with my known William & Sarah's children, and they seem to fit well - except for the two older women who are living in the home. (Possibly sisters of William or Sarah, or mothers of one of them?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WILLIAM KING HOUSEHOLD (from 1820 Scott County Census) Note: I listed the names of William & Sarah's children we have so far, next to the Census list. It did not have names, only age ranges. 1. boy 0-10 Hiram b. 1815 age 5 2. boy 0-10 David b. 1820 baby 3. boy 0-10 Elias 4. boy 0-10 John 5. boy 10-16 Elcana 6. boy 10-16 ? 7. Man 26-45 William b. 1779 age 41 8. girl 0-10 Rosa b. 1810 age 10 9. girl 0-10 Jennie b. 1818 age 2 10. girl 10-16 Lucinda or Minnie ? 11. woman 26-45 Sarah b. 1781 age 39 12. woman 45+ ? 13. woman 45+ ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas on where to go from here? Could this be my William? Thanks for listening.... Nancy :-)
