That is > located just inside the district line. In the old census' it is referred to as > Washington County, DC. They could have had at least eight children that can be > identified. One daughter Althea married Elexious Queen. Another married > Jonathan Buckman, another James H. Flower, another married Robert Devine. There is > also one who married first a Wolford and second a Chappel. Their sons were > John, James, Joseph and Thomas. > William is shown on the 1840 census living next door to Elias King.
