Hi Mary You got me thinking about the wife's family of Wiley King ((( Look out seems when I do that I can get Judy and the list in one big mess ))) . I checked our tree and we have Wiley's wife as: Descendants of Wiley King 1 Wiley KING Born: February 11, 1821 in Alabama Source: Birth date copied from the King Family Bible by Violet King, sent to Dee Colvin"s mother - via email from Dee March 20, 2002. chrdcol@gte.net Died: November 21, 1871 . +Maria A. (Marie) ROWAN Born: March 04, 1820 in Alabama Died: April 17, 1872 Married: September 10, 1840 Source: Marriage date for Wiley and Maria King from King Family Bible Records copied by Violet King May 1, 1954 - sent email from Dee Colvin March 20, 2002. chrdcol@gte.net Also have Descendants of Samuel Rowan 1 Samuel ROWAN . +Elizabeth WISEMAN Born: Abt. 1833 Married: 1852 in Prob. Izard Cuonty, Arkansas ....... 2 John ROWAN ....... 2 Samuel ROWAN ....... 2 Thomas ROWAN Also have Descendants of Martin Thomas Wiseman 1 Martin Thomas WISEMAN Born: Abt. 1797 in Burke County, North Carolina Died: in Fulton County, Arkansas . +Ann ENNIS Born: in Fulton County, Arkansas Married: September 18, 1816 in Carter County, Tennessee Elisabeth is the dau. of Martin Thomas Wiseman and Ann Ennis Elizabeth WISEMAN Born: Abt. 1833 .......... +Joseph MARTIN ................ 3 Cordelia MARTIN ....... *2nd Husband of Elizabeth WISEMAN: .......... +Samuel ROWAN Married: 1852 in Prob. Izard Cuonty, Arkansas ................ 3 John ROWAN ................ 3 Samuel ROWAN ................ 3 Thomas ROWAN Can not tie Samuel ROWAN and Maria A. (Marie) ROWAN together. But it ties the Wiseman Family to the King family. Not sure where this will lead. Grama Sophronie Davenport Wisemans family can't stay put for ever. Sophronia is listed in the 1870 Fulton County, Arkansas Census page 109 with the Wiley King family: ( Note this census was Transcriped by Magie Garr and sent by E-Mail to us by Wilma Norton Also: Part of E-Mail 1 Feb 2001 from: Charles and Dee Colvin chrdcol@gte.net Hi Judie? Nice to meet a distant cousin!! Yes, my mother use to speak of Sophronia Davenport WISEMAN, and her name is among those that were in the family Bible. (Note: it was a King Family Bible per Dee Colvin) The Bible has Safronia D. Wiseman Born 24 February 1851 Married James F. Montgomery 6 July 1871 Thanks for your time Jim and Judy ( Shuck ) Montgomery JIM Mary Cooper Miller wrote: >One thing that had occurred to me was the King wife.
