Source Notes
The reference to George W. King and William J. King in the NC Troops book suggests that they are either brothers or cousins. They are of the same generation and enlisted in the same place on the same day, the only two people in the regiment with the surname King. This is either our direct-line George W. King and his brother, or our direct-line William Julius A. King and his brother. The dates for George W. King given in this source (that he was 24 years old in 1862) suggest that he is not the direct-line George W. King, but instead the brother of William Julius A. King. This source should therefore be moved to the WJAK page.
