Hi Al: I have some vital data on Ephraim King (b. Abt 1785), in either NC or VA. He married Jane Harkins of SC and migrated to LCTN during the early 1800's. I also have vital data on their children, including their son Andrew Jackson King, my gr-gr grandfather. I also have considerable data on Andrew's family and their descendants. If the above Ephraim King (b. 1785) is the one that you mentioned, I don't currently have information to the effect that he was ever married to Margaret Drummond. However, the father of my Ephraim could have been an Ephraim King, Sr.; and he could have been married to her; but I have no proof of that relationship. As I recall, there was an older single lady named Margaret King that lived close to my Ephraim King during his early days in LCTN; that may be the Margaret King that you have referenced. I once thought that Margaret might have been Ephraim's mother; but a birth date of 1817 would be more likely a late sister, niece or cousin of my Ephraim, rather than his wife. Andrew Jackson King's children were all born between 1840 and 1860, so it is unlikely that any of them would be migrating as early as 1845. As for James Madison Cloud, that seemed to have been a popular name in my Cloud line. I have a James M. Cloud, b. 1814, 1838 and 1846; also a James Madison Cloud b. 1815, 1818 and 1855. No doubt some of these names are duplicates. Which one would you like for me to check on? Sorry I can't be of more help at this time. Tom King, Sr.
