Mason Co. WV King. I am searching for the liniage of William Henry King, in the 1820 census he is living next to Henry(Banner) King in Ashton , Clendenin district on 18 Mile Creek, Ohio River, Mason Co. WV. Family tradition says that they were from NC, perhaps Stokes Co. NC. William was born between 1775 and 1795 and died by 1832. William was in the 1830 census and only Williams wife Tamar Wallace King(daughter of Luke Wallace and Hannah Oldaker) was in the 1840 census. Children born between 1815 and 1826 William Banner King Winston Banner King Preston Banner King Maria King Asbury Louisa King Sarah King Hughes The 1820 census for William gives, 1 boy less than 10, 2 males 45 and up, 2 girls under 10, 1 female 26 to 45.(Luke and Hannah were married in Bedford co. Va in 1795) For Henry, 1 male 26 to 45, 3 females under 10, 2 females 10 to 16, 1 female 16 to 45. The site at Ashton was a water mill, some where near Hughes Branch of 18 mile creek. There are a number of Millwrights listed in later census of the area that married into or were related by marriage to the Kings. In the 1850 census there were Kings, Wallis's, Hughes, and Angles still located around the mill land. The land was sold to speculators in 1853 for non payment of back taxes to 1832. Henry purchased about 300 acres around 1823 and William the adjoining 100 acres of land in 1826. The 1853 deed mentions adjoining Henry Kings land. Cheers, John Richard King Living in the land of Aussie. William Henry King, Winston Banner King, David Samuel King, David Augusta King, William Earl King, John Richard
