Good morning, All.
Can anyone help me with the names of the siblings of Walter D. King?
Walter was born in Jeffersonville in 1883. By the time of the 1900 census, the first
census on which Walter appeared, he was the only child in his parents' household.
On Walter's death certificate, his parents' names were Henry KING and Nancy
PERKINS. On subsequent census records, a William H. and Nancy lived next door to Walter.
On the 1880 census, just prior to Walter's birth, there is a William H. KING, age 36,
and Nancy, age 28, living on Missouri Avenue in Jeffersonville. Their children were John
H. 12, Alonzo 8, Laura 6, William 5, Alice 3, and James 1. If this is the correct family,
William H. and Nancy's ages are off; they should 28 and 25, respectively.
William H. and Walter ended up in Borden. William H. owned a farm and was called a fruit
farmer. Persimmons may have been one of the crops he grew.
I'd appreciate some help with the names of Walter's siblings.
Regards,
Bonnie
