King, 20; son Daniel G.[?] King, 18; daughter Lucinda King,14; daughter Hannah E. King, 12; son Andrew M. King, 9; and daughter [unknown] M. King, 6. John, James, Degall, and Daniel are farmers.

They live with two children: son John V.[?] King, 3, and son Zacariah T.[?] King, age 3 months. George is a farmer. They were all born in NC. The next house on the list belongs to William King, 28, and his wife Elizabeth King, 26. They live with five children: son George W. King, 7; son John F. King, 5; son James W. King, 4; daughter Susan L. King, 2; and daughter Martha P. King, age one month. William is a farmer. Everyone was born in NC except for Elizabeth, who was born in TN. Elizabeth is illiterate.

| 1 | 1830 United States Federal Census, Mecklenburg Co., NC, Nat. Archives Roll 122 Pg 338; Ancestry.com pg. 53. Geo. W. King age 30-40; 1 male age 20-30; 2 females under age 5; 1 female age 30-40. This indicates that one daughter did not survive to the time of his will, 1847. The male age 20-30 is possibly George's brother Arguile, since Arguile does not seem to appear in the 1830 census, whereas his brother Colin C. King does. |

Source Notes
- The 1850 census from Cherokee County has not been linked explicitly to our direct-line Kings; a lot of the names matched up so I included it here, even though Cherokee County is quite a ways away from Charlotte.
- The 1840 census Mecklenburg County indicates that George W. King's wife is already dead by 1840. His will is dated 1847, so very likely he also may be dead by 1850.
