See 1850 Census of Clearfield County for further data in Burnside Twp. that appear to apply to this family.
I could not find him in 1860 or 1870. A Reeder King appears in Lycoming Co., McIntyre Twp., p. 447, white male age 44, in 1860, but he is obviously not the person above.
Sources: I hesitate to post this sheet, since much of the information on it is derived from posts at GenForum. However, the data seem to be supported by the censuses. Some of this information appears to be derived from a biography that appeared in Stewart (1913), Indiana County Pennsylvania: Her People, Past and Present, vol. 2, p. 1570. I have not seen this bio (yet).
