I hope someone out there can help me. I am looking for the parents of Edward King, born 1755-60. He was in the Revolutionary war and when he was released from the army he went back to his home in Caswell Co. NC. He married Sarah Browning the daughter of Jacob Browning and Elizabeth Bywaters Browning. Edward lived on the County line Creek in Caswell Co. He lived in the Gloucester District. He lived by a Nathaniel King. I have never been able to find his parents or most of his children. He had a daughter Mary who married William McIntosh and a Son Isaiah who married Susannah Hartsfield daughter of William Hartsfield. Edward lived in Caswell Co. NC. from the time he left the army until about 1800. He lived near the McIntosh families, The Browning Families and Nathaniel King there. He left Caswell Co. and moved to Robertson Co. Tn. about 1800 where the McIntosh and some of the Browning families moved to. In about 1810 he and some of the McIntosh families and Browning families moved to Bedford Co. TN. He applied for his army Pension there in 1818. I can go back no farther than Caswell Co. Could he be the Edward King who is one of the sons of Miles King of Va? you can contact me at E-mail [email protected]

I am researching the Kings of Fentress & Overton counties Tennessee that move/migrated to those areas in the late 1700's. Per the earliest census records available and land grants, these are the Kings that were in the area. I am trying to link #5 John A. King to one of these earlier, older Kings. Note: The Ferrell's may have come from the Pittsylvania (??) area of VA. I do not have desc info on any of these except #5 as they disappeared before detailed census were available. There is little to no court record info these early Kings either. #5 John A. King is my direct line. 1. Robert KING b: Between 1770 - 1780 2. Peter KING b: Before 1775 3.

Prvd in Jul 1791 Ct by Robert King. John King 99 - convicted of larceny 15 years ago, been an honest man ever since, restored to honest citizen privileges. Fentress County, TN Court Records. John King spent about 1 year in prison. Quote from " Tennessee Convicts: Records of the State Penitentary" John King was recieved March 11, 1833. He is 5'8" in height and weighs 156 lbs. Light hair , blue eyes, fair complexion, 31 years of age. Born in Tennessee and brought up in Fentress County. He has a wife and seven children, 4 boys and three girls. Her father , Smith Ferrell, resides in Overton co, Tenn., near the Wolfe Meeting House. He has a small scar in the edge of the hair , near the center of the forehead. A scar near the instep of the right foot. A scar on the forefinger of the right hand, running across the finger, from the cut of a Tomahawk. He has generally followed farming . Was found guilty of petit larceny at the Circuit Court of Fentress County and sentenced to one year confinement in the Jail and Penitentiary House of the State of Tennessee. John King was discharged by expiration of sentence on the 15 day of March 1833. Detained one day for bad conduct. [ He must have been released March of 1834, since he was recieved in March of 1833. I believe the date he went in was correct since it was in line of all the other 1833 inprisonments listed with his imprisonment.] In his home in 1850 , Fentress co, Tn was Richard Wineharm 4, Tn : Louisa King 28, Tn; Thomas King 7 : Mary King 4 ,Tn: and Jane 6 months [ census taken Aug 30, 1850] Tn. Was this a daughter ? Maybe a daughter in law with her children? Note that there is a four year span between William and Thomas. This is most likely the time John was in prison. Only one of the girls born before he went to prison is in home. Next door is Adam Wineham 20, Tn and Martha Wineham 21 ,Tn could this one of the daughters. Living near by is a large Wineham family. The daughters were probably married by this time unless Louisa is also a daughter. Only one of the sons is not in the home that was born before he went to prison. In 1840 John lived next door to James King (son ?) Notes for #6 Thomas King: "A long path.

Archibald Crockett, his wife proved in Mecklenburg County, N.C. Jan 3, 1804 (his wife was a KING) mentions: 1. Son, Elias Crockett, land where I live 2. Daughter, Ann Crockett, wife of a Mr. Taylor, tract of land where Frederick Taylor lives (evidently Ann married Frederick Taylor) 3. Son John Crockett, to him i will and gequeath a tract and parcel of land now lying in the hands of Col. Thomas KING, now living in the State ofTenn., in Hawkins county, and all the rest of my property, except one woman's saddle, t be taken out for my daughter Mary Ann. Executores: Son John Crockett and Samuel Downs, in the presence of Eli Crocket and Clias Crocket The above will of the grandfather of the celebrated and famous David (Davy) Crockett, his fahter being the son of John Crockett mentioned in the will. This will refutes the idea that the father of "David Crockett" was a penniless "back woodsman" in Ten, and shows that he was a close kinsman of the Honorable Thomas KING, an uncle, who lived in and helped to corgaize Hawkins County, Tenn,. (in 1786), and who served from that diestrict in the Legislature of N.C. Notes from the "The Mecklenburg Signers and Their Neighbors", by Worth S. Ray William King, his wife, probated in Mecklenbur County, N.C. on Nov. 1, 1788. Will BookD Page 138 mentions: My dear wife mary Ann King, my four children. 1. Archiblad Crockett, 2. John King 3. Elizabeth McCorkle 4. William McCullough Executors named are Archibald Crockett and John King. Witnesses, were Eli Crockett, john Elliott and Henry Downs This William KING lived somewhere East of Providence church, of which Archilbald Crockett ws one of the first elders. He was the great-grandfather of the famous David (Davy) Crockett of Tenn. and Texas, his daughter having married Archibald Crockett, the Henry Downs who signed this will as one of the witness was a Signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration on May 20, 1775. Significant note as the Crockett's and Kings and other early families lived near each other in Fentreees county, TN. Best regards, Rick Hoover

If you are able to get to the Bracken Library at Ball State University, in Muncie, IN they have a wealth of historical data--old census microfilms, old newspaper microfilms (for a lot of different Indiana newspapers). Allen County Public Library, in Fort Wayne, Indiana is rated the second best genealogical center in the US. They are even connected with the Salt Lake City center. They also have ships' registers with the only requirement needed to find someone is their name and a approximate date for their voyage. By the way, my Mother was called Betty (King) when she was alive. Her maiden name was actually Vera Elizabeth King.

Sharon, I have a Thomas KING in my line who married Jane (sometimes called Katherine ?) Sharp. I only have one child listed for them and her name was Mary who married Stephen Alexander, Sr. who was born 1741 and died 1810. Stephen was probably born in Northern Ireland. Stephen married Mary in Lancaster County, PA. Stephen and Mary moved with his family and others to Guilford County, North Carolina, where Stephen's name appears on Randolph County's first tax list in 1779 (which included the signing of the Oath of Allegiance). They moved to Greene County, TN in 1797. This is history written down by my great grandmother Mary Emma Alexander. I would like to know more. Do you think we have a connection?

Looking for information on the William King family. William was born abt. 1786 in St. Marychurch, Devon County, England. He was married to Bridget (?) from Ireland, and possibly had a previous marriage to Mary Millett. Daughter of William was Mary King (b. Dec. 4, 1813) who married William Ward on Dec. 7, 1840 at the parish church in Tormoham, Devon. William and Mary (King) Ward, and their children left England for the U.S. in 1854.

I have a Geoge King born 1820 in Dublin, Ireland. He came to U.S. in 1827 with parents, George King and Esther Stacy and two siblings, Thomas King, and Maria King (Davis). They settled in Cattaraugus County, New York (Mansfield). George married Mary Nichols and they had three children, Marcus, Oscar and Sarah. Mary died in 1856 shortly after they moved to Monroe County, Wisconsin. He remarried Martha Boyle Turner and they had four more children, Alice, Hattie, John (who is my grandfather) and Lizzie. They also raised a nephew Frederick. I have quite a bit of information on this family once they reached the U.S., but my brickwall is Ireland. They became Methodist-Episcopal in the U.S. but have been unable to find what Parish they were part of in Ireland nor the ship they came over on in 1827. If anyone has information on this family, I would be forever grateful. ---------- >From: Carol C-H <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: [KING] Listowner Post - ROLL CALL!! >Date: Tue, Jan 28, 2003, 1:31 PM > > Let's try to find some connections and ancestors!

Bruce: I have a Truman born in Erie Co. PA in 1835. Parents (Steven and Barbara) with their families made their way from Exeter RI through NY to PA starting about the late 1790. Since Truman is an unusual name, I am wonder if there is a connection given the naming conventions of that time. Do you have siblings or parentage for Benedict?

My brick wall is any & all Info prior to the 1850 Indiana,Vigo Co. Prairie Creek Twp. census. Thats where my G.Grandfather Thomas T. King & wife Docia first appear. Soloman may have been a brother,but not sure. Have no clue as to who Thomas' parents were, except I wonder if his Father may have been Henry, who is mentioned in the Prairie Creek Twp. history as coming to the Twp. between 1816&1820. If so there were several children listed, but I have no names. Per the 1850 census Thomas was born in Indiana, his B.D. is5-9-1826. He & Docia had 9 children. I have considerable info. after the 1850 census but absolutely nothing before that census. Family stories are that Thomas' Father came to the U.S. from either Scotland or Ireland, no other info on this either. Does anyone out there have info. that will lead me up to my Indiana folks??
