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.
2	1840 United States Federal Census, Mecklenburg Co., NC, Nat. Archives Roll 365 Pg 302; Ancestry.com pg. 87. George W. King age 40-50 yrs; children: 1 male under 5 yrs; 1 male 5-10 yrs; 1 female 10-15 yrs.
5	Interview of Henrietta King Sunday 8 Aug. 1993, Charlotte, NC, by Murphy Whisnant & Robbie King Whisnant. "This afternoon we took some family history over to Herietta and during converstion she was telling about her father, Alphonso W. King. He had told her that her great-grandfather was George Washington. Being proud of it she told her school friends and at home one day she also told a visiting friend that her great-grandfather was George Washington. Alfonso King heard part of the conversation and corrected her as meaning her great-grandfather was George Washington King."
