The John R. King family was enumerated in Washington Twp. in the 1860 and 1870 census of Monroe Co., IN. John was married to my 4th-great grandaunt, Dialtha Adaline Swafford.
John was a farmer whose P.O. box was Bryant Creek in 1860 and Bloomington in 1870. The value of his real estate was $2000 in 1860 and increased to $6000 by 1870. Neither John nor Dialtha could read or write.
There is an unidentified James M. King age 25, born in Kentucky, who was residing with the family in the 1870 census. Perhaps he is a nephew.
