In the 1850 Census, there is a Hiram King in Cambridge, but he is 36 years old, and so is his wife Mary. They have 3 children and others living with them . . . seems too old to be Hiram King’s father; one of the boys in his teens here could be Hiram L. King’s father, though. He is next to a Stephen King as well. Can’t read the names well online. This Hiram is also in the 1870 census, 56 years old. The only 5-year-old Hiram King in New York is in French Creek, Chautauqua County. Hiram was then living with wife Mary, daughter Jessie (26), sons James (20), George (18).

Farm Building in Glenville Burns
The barns and out-houses of Hiram King, who lives near South Glenville, were entirely destroyed by fire last night, the fire starting from an exploding lantern, it is understood, and spreading rapidly after reaching the straw and hay, through the entire structure. The loss was estimated at from $500 to $800. The barn was on what is known as the Gus Chamberlain farm. Mr. King only moved in a short time ago.
He was upstairs in the barn getting straw for bedding his stock at about 7 o’clock last night when the lantern in some way exploded. Telephone calls were sent to the neighbors and a bucket-brigade was formed. The contents of the barn, with the exception of the hay and straw, was saved, and the house was with difficulty prevented from igniting.
