Daniel King Family - Madison Co., IN
Today I sourced the census records of the Daniel King family in the 1860 & 1870 census of Monroe Twp., Madison Co., IN. Daniel is my maternal 3rd great-grandfather.
In both records, Daniel is a farmer, with real estate valued at $4000 in 1860 and $14,500 in 1870, with a personal estate worth $1375 in 1860 and $6031 by 1870. His birthplace is listed as Indiana in 1860 and Ohio in 1870. His birthplace is given on his son David's 1900 census record as Maryland and in 1910 as North Carolina. Obviously, the fact that Daniel died so young (1876), many of his children were not sure just where their father was born.
Children of Daniel and Elizabeth (Shaw) King are as follows :
i. Mary Jane King b. December 8, 1849 Madison Co., IN., d. April 4, 1935 Madison Co., IN., m. Leroy Young, m(2) ________ Hicks

Crown Hill Cemetery - Indianapolis, IN
I've had a success recently with a FindAGrave.com volunteer who was willing to locate the tombstones of my KING relatives who are buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis. Special thanks to Trish Bliss for all of her help & hard work.
Some of these King names have not yet been added to my database, as they are new names to me. Both Cornelius and David King were brothers of my ancestor, Daniel King.
