Hello Bill, Interesting if your King family connects to my King/Bird family. I have not done much research on the King family. What I do know is Catherine King born about 1724, to Michael and Isabel Bell Ferguson King. Married John Bird born 22 Jul 1698, married Moses Smith after 1761. The family lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas. I know this is not any help but who knows. Thank you for all your postings on your family and others. They have been very helpful.
