    2. Theresa and Donna- I think the John W. King buried in 1876 in Montgomery City Cemetery is the son of John P. and Susan E. King. The William King who buried him (name on tombstone) is his older brother. I think this especially since the tombstone is right next to the stones of Charles Wald and Mary King Wald, who was his sister. John P. King's obituary in the Montgomery Standard was published in January of 1892: "In Memory of Dear Grand-Pa John P. King departed this life at his old residence in Montgomery county, December 24, 1891, at the age of 83. (Then there was a printed poem.) Signed Mattie Wald" John P. King age 49 and wife Susan age 46 were listed in the 1860 Census (Montgomery County, Upper Loutre Township, Series M653, Roll 635, Pages 426 and 427), with the following children: (Sarah and Mary E. were already married), Susan age 23, William age 21, John age 19, Louisa age 17, Rebecca age 15, Martha age 12, George age 10, Charles age 9, Thomas age 6 (I think- this is hard to read on my copy.), Catherine age 4, James age 6/12 (infant). The 1850 census, for which I don't have the microfilm numbers, listed Sarah age 18, and Mary age 15 along with Susan 12, William 11, John 9, Louisa 4, Rebecca 2, George 2, and Martha 5/12, and Farm Hand Charles Wald age 19,(spelled Wale in the list), who later married Mary E. (Interesting note- on this census, mother Susan listed her age as 28, but her oldest daughter was 18. I think the 1860 age is closer to the truth. John listed his age as 39, which is consistent.) Also, on this census, Rebecca and George appear to be twins, although not on the 1860 one. I am not sure which one is correct. The 1860 census I have is a printout of the actual page, whereas the 1850 one is from a transcription, so could have been copied wrong. There are several ages here which aren't consistent, so I'd like to see the original 1850 to compare. Linda Kanevsky
