Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/342 Surname: Hall, King, Stewart ------------------------- My grandmother's maiden name was STEWART. She had a sister by the name of Sarah Ellen "Eleanor" Stewart who married a Clarence or Clarance KING. Ellen STEWART and Clarence KING had a daughter by the name of Myrtle KING. She married a S.E. James. The old "KING RANCH" still exists as far as I know in or near Sutter Creek in Amadore County. The ranch is well known in those parts as it was a large apple orchard and once was a feeding station during the early cattle drives. I don't know the names of Myrtle King's brothers or sisters but I am quite sure that since Myrtle was born in 1899 that your dad is probably a brother to Myrtle. If that is the case, then your dad's parents would be Clare(a)ce King and Sarah Ellen "Eleanor" Stewart. Best Regards, Ron Young w6mht@msn.com
