Hi, I have found a marriage for Jefferson King and Mary Ann Page in Jefferson, Ill, 18 April 1845 and see them on census records 1850, and 1860. Then I found a marriage for Jefferson King and Margaret Dawson in Jefferson, ILL 23 Feb 1863 And I found on the 1870 Franklin Co,Illinois census records, Thomas King, Margaret and 5 kids, some names and ages are the same and more kids added. Then in 1880 found Jefferson King and Margaret in Southfork Howell, Missouri with more kids, some the same as in 1870...then in 1900 census Spring Cr. Township, Howell, Missouri, Jefferson King lists birthdate Nov.1811, Tennessee, married 37 years to Margaret born Aug 1833.
Now, I am wondering if this Thomas Jefferson King could be the same one that married Margaret Dawson. I am hoping you can help me with this. He is shown as a farmer, and I don 't know how to search land records, and figure this out alone. Thanks for your help.
