Harold, I checked my notes when I saw your James K.. There doesn't seem to be to many James' with middle Initial K.. I guess thats why it stuck in my mind. The James K. that I have was 4yrs. old in the 1850 Mo. census. Parents were Nathan A. b. Ky., 25yrs old. Margaret 25 yrs. b. Ky. Siblings, John P. 2yrs. and Francis 11/12. I don't think this will help based on your info.. Just thought I'd try. Good Luck. Bob Wilson ps. The source was, www.rootsweb.com/~cenfiles/mo/benton/1850/index-r-z.txt
