Family Milestones: May 3rd

My maternal 3rd-great granduncle, David William KING, was born on this date in 1825, near Zanesville, Ohio.  David was the son of William and Sarah (SULLIVAN) KING, and the older brother of my Daniel KING.  David married October 7, 1855 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana to Nancy M. BAYLOR, daughter of John and Nancy (SARGENT) BAYLOR.  Nancy was born January 26, 1831 in Marion County, Indiana.  They had 1 daughter.  David was a carpenter and ice merchant in Indianapolis.  Nancy died August 26, 1883 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.  David died December 31, 1899 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.  Both are buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.

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.
