My maternal 3rd-great grandfather, Carey W. LAMBERTSON was enumerated in the 1870 census of Butler Co., OH, and the the 1910 census of Madison Co., IN. These two census records are bookends of his adult life.
In 1870, he was living in Madison Twp., Jacksonborough P.O., and his occupation was listed as a farm laborer. He was 24 years old, and his wife Clara was 22. Carey's father, John, aged 70, born in New Jersey was also living with the household.
In 1910, he and Clara were living alone in Pipecreek Twp., near Elwood. Clara was listed as the mother of 5 children, all of whom were living in 1910. Carey's occupation was listed as laborer and junk dealer. Clara's parents were listed as being born in Virginia, Carey's as being born in New Jersey.
His name was spelled Cary in 1870 and Carey in 1910. I prefer to use the Carey spelling.

William was born in Indiana with his father being from Kentucky and his mother from Virginia. William and Mary had been married for 20 years in the 1900 census, and their children were born in Nebraska, so that is where I should look for them in the 1880 census.
The names of the children were spelled in various ways : sometimes going by their middle names or reversing the order (i.e., Earl J. or Jessie E.)

The widow Litha King appears in the 1920 census of Frankton, Pipe Creek Twp., Madison Co., IN, aged 62, born in Indiana. She was the widow of David King, who died November 1, 1914.
Litha Ann Trumilis D'Amsel May was born November 1856 in Indiana, the daughter of Michael and Julie (Cawthorn) May. Her parents were from Virginia, according to census records. Litha married David King, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Shaw) King on July 26, 1876 in Frankton, Madison Co., IN. Litha died September 1954 in Madison Co., IN. and is buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Frankton.
Litha is listed as being enumerated on February 7th, apparently she was out of town at the time the census taker came around the first time.

James Alfred King family - Indiana to California
James Alfred KING appears in the census as head of household in the 1900 census in Madison Co., IN; in the 1910 census in Delaware Co., IN; and in the 1920 census in Los Angeles Co., CA. James was the son of Daniel and Elizabeth (SHAW) KING, born September 10, 1865 in Madison Co., IN.
James' occupation in the 1900 census was that of a laborer. In the 1910 census he was a dairy farmer, and by 1920 he was a moulder in a factory. The family moved to California between 1915 and the 1920 census, as his youngest daughter, Crystal, was listed as being born in Indiana.
In the 1910 census, James lists his father's place of birth as Pennsylvania and his mother's as North Carolina, neither of which seem likely based on other records. James was under 10 years old when his father passed away, so it is likely that he didn't know his father's origins.
James was married twice and had 3 children by his first marriage and 4 by his second. I have not located any records of the children of his first marriage, so they may have all died young.

Douglas King Family - Madison County, Indiana

Douglas' name was spelled in a variety of ways : Dugless and Dug being the best examples. Douglas' occupation was that of a glass worker, and apparently Orestes had a glass factory at one time. He was able to own his own home free of any mortgage, according to the 1920 census, and could read and write. By 1910, wife Amanda was the mother of 11 children, 8 of whom were still living.

David King Family - Madison Co., IN
Today I sourced the data on the David King family of Madison Co., IN in the 1900 & 1910 census of Monroe Twp. David was the son of Daniel & Elizabeth (Shaw) King.
In both census David is listed as a farmer whose farm was mortgaged. In the 1900 census, wife Litha is stated as the mother of 6 children, with 4 living, and by 1910 listed on one living. The 1910 census is in error, as in the next household I found daughter Frankie and her husband David Gosnell.
David's father, Daniel, had died by 1876, so it's possible that David didn't know his family origins. In the 1900 census he stated his father was born in Maryland and his mother in Indiana. In the 1910 census he stated that his father was born in North Carolina and his mother in Virginia. Census records for Daniel King state that he was either born in Indiana or in Ohio.

David King Family - Marion Co., Indiana
Today I sourced the data on the David King family found in the 1860 & 1870 census of Marion County, Indiana. David and family lived in the 3rd Ward of the city of Indianapolis. David was the son of William and Sarah (Sullivan) King, and was the brother of my maternal 3rd-great grandfather, Daniel King.
In the 1860 census, David is listed as a carpenter, but in the 1870 census his occupation was that of an ice merchant. The family was enumerated twice in the 1870 census, apparently the whole city of Indianapolis was recounted because of a disagreement with the count. In one count, David's mother, Sarah (Sullivan) King, aged 72 born Maryland, was listed as boarding with the family. Her age would make her born circa 1798, instead of 1777, which I had previously thought. This birth date would be more in line with her husband's.
David was doing particularly well by the 1870 census, as the value of his real estate was listed at $25,000 and his personal estate was valued at $1000. Also enumerated with David was his wife, Nancy, and daughter Emma.

Known children of David and Nancy M. (Baylor) King are as follows :

In the 1860 census, David is listed as a carpenter, but in the 1870 census his occupation was that of an ice merchant. The family was enumerated twice in the 1870 census, apparently the whole city of Indianapolis was recounted because of a disagreement with the count. In one count, David's mother, Sarah (Sullivan) King, aged 72 born Maryland, was listed as boarding with the family. Her age would make her born circa 1798, instead of 1777, which I had previously thought. This birth date would be more in line with her husband's.

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

x. Benjamin Zellen King b. October 15, 1871 Madison Co., IN., d. November 30, 1956 Madison Co., IN., m. Elizabeth Ann Schell.
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.

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.
