    2. Sorry; nothing on Bryan/Bryants. The following on King: "In 1785 the grand jury presented a protect to the state legislature for negligence in collecting taxes on state imports; in 1788 Wilkes Conty sent George Matthews, Florence Sullivan, and JOHN KING as delegates to the convention in Augusta for the ratification of the new Federal Constitution." "The Irvin Guards closely watched the development of the approaching Spanish-American War. In February, 1898, Captain R. O. Barksdale received word from Major N. A. Teague to be in readiness to move the Irvin Guards at a moment's notice, and in May Lieutenant A.L. KING and a corps of sixteen men were assigned to a company with headquarters at Barnesville, Georgia. Other Washington men were accepted as members of regiments throughout the state. After their return from war duties the guards remained in active organization until their disbandment in 1906." That's it for King. Diane
