Henry Allen King

Notes:

In the 1850, 1860, & 1870 Federal Censuses, Henry & his wife (Elitia or Lydia or Lida A.) and children are living at Ellisburg, Jefferson Co., NY. They are with his parents Henry & Betsey.

In 1850 the children are as follows: Ellen 16, Hannah 12, Laura 7, George H. 5, & Harriet E. 2, all b NY. Also in the household are Albert & Hannah Powers, ages 22 & 20.

In 1860 the children are: Laurie 16, George 15, Lydia 12, Mary 8, & Preston 2.

In 1870 the children are: George H. 25, Mary 18, & Preston P. 12. Also in the household is Hattie, 32 (who is she?).

Henry married Elitia "Lydia" Unknown Abt 1828, NY. Elitia was born Abt 1816, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 census she is Harriet E., age 2; In the 1860 and 1870 censuses she is listed as Lydia (12 & 22); in 1880 she is Lizzie. It is possible her nickname was Liddie and the census taker in 1880 heard it incorrectly. Her mother's name was either Lydia, Lida A., Elitia, or Elidia; so perhaps Harriet's middle name was the same as her mother's.

Harriet married Wallace Waterman Bef 1 Jun 1870. Wallace (son of William Waterman and Rachel Remington) was born Abt 1851, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]
