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 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.
Research 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.
