Kingston is supposed to have had a brother William and a sister who married a LOWE. He probably died somewhere in the 1860's Zerelda is supposed to have twin brother William and another brother Richard. She later married a Martin ROBBINS and lived in Campbell Co. She is supposed to have died in 1884. Her mother's name might have been HARRISON. One of her brothers is supposed to have married a Harrison and the other a CROCKETT.
