    • Notes: 

    • Due to the young age of Malinda at the time of the birth of Nathan King's eldest children, and the difference of 14 years in age between Malinda and Nathan King, it is possible that Malinda is not the mother of Nathan King's eldest children. Also, the 1900 U.S. census places Malinda and Nathan's marriage at around 1862, after the apparent births of Nathan's two oldest children.
