Also in my searching (and from a cousin in the Loveland, CO area) Col. George did settle in Madison County, then sometime after the 1850 census and before the 1860 ..they moved to Bollinger County. My cousin discovered from the Missouri Archives that he was a Lt. Col. in the Union Army even at his advanced age. Many of my in-laws (descended from the Whitener's of Marquand in Madison County) were in the C.S.A., so we truly had neighbor against neighbor in that part of Missouri.
In the Missouri State Archives' Soldiers Database, a King cousin from Loveland, CO found George W. King's Civil War Service record.
Rank: Lieutenant-Colonel
Conflict: Civil War
Side: Union
Organization: Enrolled Missouri Militia
Name of Unit: 68th Regiment E.M.M.
Company: F & S
Comander: Colonel Lindsay
Enrolled: 20 Nov 1862 in Ironton
Relieved from duty: ___ 1863
Number of days actual service: 28
Remarks: Roll says: " Captured by Gen Marmaduke April 23rd 1863 & paroled at Little Rock Ark May 21st 1863.
Reached home June 6th 1863."
Our question is: why would the C.S.A. release him back to
Bollinger County so quickly? ...the war was only half way over - maybe he was wounded and they couldn't care for him - maybe they made a prisoner swap with the Union Army.
