William King married to Rebecca Harrison in Nelson Co., KY 4 Sept., 1823. They had nine documented children. 1850 Ballard Co., KY Wm King age 56 R. 45 S. E. 24 W. C. 17 J. O. 14 G. W. 11 A. 10 V. 7 M. T. 4 1860 Ballard Co., KY William King age 65 wagonmaker Rebecca 54 Angeline 19 Virginia 16 Milton T. 13 Martha C. 9 A case for John Edwards King of Cumberland Co., KY being William’s father: 1. John was born 21 Dec., 1757 and died 13 May, 1828. He is the right age to be William’s father. 2. William named a son of his Milton 3. John had a son named Milton, who could have been William’s brother. John’s son Milton was born 17 Jan., 1799 in Burkesvill, Cumberland Co., KY and died in 1874 Paducah, McCracken Co., KY 4. William is not found in the 1830 Cumberland Co., KY census, but Milton is. 5. John’s son Milton was Clerk of the County Court for the County of Cumberland as stated on the will of Pleasant Bowman and the 1824 will of Ballenger Wade 6. John E KING, power of atty to his brother, William KING of Nelson Co KY in Cumberland County, KY Deed Book B Abstracts 1810-1812. 7. John E. KING to William KING of Nelson Co KY, power of atty to settle with Elizabeth CRIPS, now Elizabeth CROW & her husband Samuel. Valentine KING, decd, willed Elizabeth Crips land. 8. John E KING power of atty to James GLADWELL of Bullitt Co KY - re Mrs. Elizabeth CRIPS (now CROW)'s bond; brother Valentine KING will. A case against John Edwards King being William’s father: 1. John E. King was in Cumberland Co., KY in 1810 census. William was born in Nelson Co., KY and married to Rebecca Harrison in Nelson Co., KY. It would make no sense for John to have William in Nelson Co. and by 1810 be in Cumberland Co. and have all his other kids. William would then have to leave Cumberland Co. and go back to his birth county of Nelson to marry Rebecca then move back across the state to Ballard Co. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
