The common ancestors of Mary Ann and Stephen are Michael King, m. Isabell Bell or Ferguson(there is some question on the last name). Mary Ann King's line is; Michael and Isabell King - Michael and Mary Snell King - Henry and Barbara Moore King - Mary Ann King - William Armstrong of Cumberland County, North Carolina. I believe Stephen King's line is; Michael and Isabell - Henry and Ann Snell - Stephen King and Amia Oates of Duplin County/Sampson County, North Carolina. I have that Stephen's son Michael married an Oates also. Don't know much else about them. This is the information I have. If it is not correct I sure would like corrections. Rick [email protected]
