Looking for info on William King who married Annis Hagins 30 Mar 1818 Rowan Co., NC. I have probate records for Annis' parents, including a lawsuit against William King by his brother-in-law John Brandon. William was the adm. for the estate of Annis' mother in 1821-22. Will be making another trip to the NC State Archives soon, and would like as much info as possible before I go. Thanks, Pat Hagan Frunzi

I am looking for a connection to the King families in New Hampshire Co., VA. I have a mysterious Nancy King b 1795 b in VA that I can't seem to place. It makes me think that she is from New Hampshire because her husband is (Short). And, some of the names interchange - like first name Greenberry. If you have a line that's from New HampshireCo., VA I'd like to hear from you. Thanks! Irene -- All outgoing e-mail is scanned by Norton AntiVirus.

That was an amazing e-mail. There may be a chink in my brick wall after all. Thank you. I have a William R. KING in Botetourt County near the town of Buchanan in the mid-1800s, although I have yet to find him in any census. He was born about 1835, but I'm not sure where. He married Margaret Ann BEAN on 10 October 1852 in Buchanan, Botetourt Co., VA. Unfortunately, he was wounded within a month of joining the 28th Virginia Infantry, at the Battle of Williamsburg (May 1863) at the age of 28, and died in a Union hospital in Washington, DC. I cannot find anything about him so far as to where and to whom he was born. I have been gathering info on the Botetourt Kings since about 1800, so let me know if you are interested in any of that data, but as extensive as your data is, you probably already have it. William and Margaret had 2 or 3 sons, of which John stayed in the Buchanan area, and Thomas Daniel KING (my direct line) went to Clermont County, Ohio, arriving about 1880. I would hope that something might sound familiar here. Let me know if anything sounds like a match. Gary King Batavia IL

Hello KING folks: I am still trying to find any clues about my William KING of Virginia, and later Tennessee, from the 1700s through the early 1800s. I came across a great clue in a family history of the LESTER and ARTHUR and WHITT and HORTON lines of Virginia. I know my e-mail is long - but I have tried to put as much info in it as I could - hoping it will help others searching for the same lines. A big thank you - before you read it. Nancy :-) P.S. You may want to print this out to make heads and tails of it! :-) *********************************************************************** My GGG Grandfather was William KING. We know many facts about him from many records, including dates from his tombstone in Tennessee, articles in "Old Time Tazewell" (book), TN census records, Scott County, VA 1820 census, and family papers, but we can't find his parents! We do know that he was born July 10, 1779. However, as with many families, we have a conflict as to where - either Virginia or Delaware. My Grandfather KING always said his ancestors were from Scotland - two KING brothers (Scotch-Irish) came to England - were given a choice of jail or coming to the New World (1600s), came as indentured servants for 7 years, and settled in Virgina. However, from there we lose track of them. We also have several KING relatives who said there were KING brothers in Virginia, and in what is now West Virginia, in the middle to late 1700s. NOTE: We have many, many KING cousins (some who have never met - recently connected by research) who ALL have the story of our KING ancestors with Native American - Cherokee kin - from Tennesee/Virginia/West Virginia (1600s-1700s) - marrying an Indian Princess. The next "date" we have on our William KING is a marriage record from Carter County, Tennessee - August 19, 1803 - he married Sarah GARNER. However, we have also found this Sarah referred to as: Sarah HAMMER and Sarah McCLELLAN !! Talk about confusing! To have these different names, we have thought she may have been married BEFORE she married our William - having kept her married name - GARNER or HAMMER or McCLELLAN. But we don't know her maiden name or any other husband names. This leaves the door open for many options - including that of her being the Sarah LESTER (b. 1779 Montgomery County, VA) who married a William KING in the area where our William was living at that time. (More on that later.) To make things more confusing - these counties of southwest Virginia were changing names from the late 1700s on: Carter County TN was formed from Washington County VA in 1796. Lee County, VA borders Carter County, TN. Lee county, VA was formed in 1793 from Russell County, VA. Russell was formed in 1786 from Washington County. Russell also contained Botetourt, Fincastle, and Washington from 1769-1785. Washington County was formed in 1777 when Fincastle county was abolished. Lee County borders Scott County, VA. Scott was formed in 1814 from Lee, Russell & Washington counties. Note: Montgomery County is near these counties - families passed through on their way to Russell, Washington, and Scott. To make a long story short - ALL of these counties are part of my KING history from the late 1700s till the time my William KING moved to Claiborne County, TN (from then Scott County, VA) in the late 1820s. Remember, he was still in Scott County on the 1820 census. This means my William KING and wife Sarah __________? were probably living in one of these close counties in the late 1700s - to be married in Carter County in 1803, and to have a household and children on the census by 1820 Scott County, Virginia! They could have come from either Russell or Washington county, VA - 1700s. Families were moving into these areas from the 1770s on - I strongly believe my William KING was living in one or all -- Washington > Russell > Scott at some time period from 1779 till the late 1820s. Now, for Sarah, wife of my William KING. We have dates - but not a definite birth PLACE b. 24 AUG 1781 (possibly North Carolina or Virginia) d. 30 MAR 1862 Claiborne County, TN First - if this Sarah were realted to a GARNER family - there were GARNER families close by: Garner, Obediah (tax list) 1799 Grainger County, TN Garner, Brill M. (tax list) (1814) Washington County, VA Garner, Griffin G. (tax list) (1814) Washington County, VA William GARDNER - on the 1820 Scott County, VA census Elizabeth GARDNER - on the 1820 census Scott County, VA census Kiziah GARDNER - marriage list 1815-1830 Scott County Reuben GARDNER - marriage list 1815-1830 Scott County Hiram GARDNER - marriage list 1815-1830 Scott County We can't find connections to Sarah for any of these ------I've tried the GARNER roostweb, genforum, several books, libraries - no Sarah matches. Next, if this Sarah were in some way related to a HAMMER - the only HAMMER connection to a KING name is a George HAMMER, born 1763 near Philadelphia. He was a Rev War Vet from Frederick, Maryland in 1781 and died in Indiana in 1834. This George is probably the same George that is listed as the administrator of a Andreas (Andrew) Hammer's & a Andrew King's probates in Frederick, MD in the early 1790's. Note: There were families who moved from Maryland to Washington County, VA in the 1770-1790s. And, this is the first KING name next to a HAMMER name, but I can't find any HAMMER names in southwest Virginia in the early 1800s! Also, I can't link this Andreas (Andrew) KING to my William. Third - I can't find any McCLELLAN families in that area at all. I have no exact source for this Sarah McCLELLAN name with my KING. KING names I need to connect with LESTER & ARTHUR & other KING folks in this area of Virginia, including my William?: -----Martha KING and John KING on the 1787 Russell County tax list and on land records - two different housholds -----Joseph KING on the Russell County land records -----Robert KING on the Russell County land records -----By 1820, there were two John KING families in Scott County. One was a John KING (b. before 1775, living alone). The other was a John KING (b. before 1775, with a wife and 5 children) -----On this same list was a John HORTON. He was the father of Travis HORTON - Travis' daughter married a son of my William KING. This Travis HORTON's wife was the daughter of Alexander Abner LESTER and Martha Patsy ARTHUR. This is my first definite connection to the LESTER line. (more on that later) There is a mention of an Elijah KING on a court paper of 1817 in Russell County - with the HORTON family: p. 403 7 May 1817 Daniel Horton plaintiff } against In Covenant John Horton and Travis Horton defendants } This day came the parties by their attorneys and the award of James Thompson, Joseph Davidson and John Crockett gent to whom the matters in controversy in this cause had been referred being inspected by the Court, it is ordered in confirmation thereof that the defendant John Horton do convey to the plt the land in Covenant mentioned by good & sufficient conveyance on his paying to the said Defendant John the value of four to six acres thereof to be ascertained by Travis Horton, John Cecil and ELIJAH KING or any two of them; and it is furthermore considered that the plaintiff recover against the said defendant his Costs by him about his suit in this behalf expended. More KING names: -----On the Montgomery County tax list of 1782: George KING, John KING, William KING -----On the Washington County tax list of 1806: William KING and Thomas KING -----A marriage of a John T KING to Saraphenia JOHNSON in Carter County, Tennessee -- at King's Springs. (This John T. KING was born in 1840, but the name King's Springs caught my eye. This is the first KING I've seen mentioned in Carter County, TN - and the place??) To add to the confusion of the name William KING - there was another William KING in Washington County this same time - the William KING who came to America in 1769 from Ireland. He bought and ran the King's Saltworks - was one of the richest men in the county - died in 1808. When I first starting reading the land deeds in Washington County - and kept seeing the name WILLIAM KING - my heart jumped! I thought at last - my William!! But no - I suppose most of these land deeds and grants were to the William KING of the saltworks - who lived at Abingdon. At this point, I don't know which deeds are my William's and which belong to this other William! (From "The King Family of Virginia & El Monte, CA") http://www.geocities.com/heartland/pointe/9126/king.html "...According to early Census records, there are few King families in Washington County. Many of these King families appear to be related to the prominent and wealthy Irish merchant, William King of Abington who left a million dollar estate upon his death in 1808. William King was married to a Mary Trigg; however, King's will proves that he left no issue. William's estate went to his brother James and sister, along with an allowance to his half-siblings Hannah Allen and Samuel King. This half-brother Samuel King died in 1811 leaving issue, but records found so far indicate only sons William, James, and Thomas." Read more on this website - interesting! Now - is it possible my William KING, born 1779, who married a Sarah (with many last names!) could be THE William KING who married Sarah LESTER???? There are so many wonderful connections -- ----- This Sarah LESTER was born about 1779 in Montgomery County, VA. Her parents were Alexander Abner LESTER and Martha Patsy ARTHUR. The "Cox and Kin" book gives the history of the LESTER line - but mentions no death date or children for Sarah LESTER. It only lists her marrying a William KING. ----- Alexander Lester and Martha ARTHUR-LESTER had two children and possibly a third (Sarah) who link with my William KING. First, Hannah LESTER (1773-1856) married twice - her 2nd husband was Edmund WHITT. Their son Abijah WHITT, had a daughter - Rebecca Ann WHITT. Rebecca WHITT married Francis Marion KING - who was the son of Elias KING. Elias was the first-born son of my William KING. Second, Alexander Abner Lester and Martha ARTHUR had a daughter named Rebecca Arthur LESTER. She married Travis HORTON. (see above for mention of his name) -- This Travis HORTON and Rebecca LESTER had a daughter named Isabel HORTON. She married Elias KING. This Elias KING was the first-born son of my William KING. Third, if this Sarah LESTER married my William KING, their birth dates fit - both being born in 1779. Next, their families were living in the same area - along with the WHITTs and HORTONs. (Remember, the WHITTs and HORTONs and LESTERs definitely connect with my KINGs.) Next, it was not uncommon for first cousins to marry long ago - which would have been the case with Isabel HORTON marrying Elias KING. This would have meant William KING's son Elias - by Sarah LESTER, and Rebecca LESTER's daughter Isabel - would have been 1st cousins? (Do I have this right?) Next, there were so few KING families in this part of Virginia at the time Sarah LESTER married a William KING - and one of them is NOT my William (he is the Saltworks King) - if this William KING Sarah LESTER married is NOT my William KING - then who is he? If we could connect the other KING names in the area - the Martha KING (who owned land in her name "Martha KING"), Thomas, Robert, Joseph, the two John KINGs -- Another quote from the "El Monte" paper: ".....there are several other King families that show up in Washington County records before William's (Saltwork's) arrival, by evidence of tax records. Very few of these households are shown on the first two Census records, [re: First U.S. Census; Washington Co, VA]. On the other side of the border in Tennessee there are several King families, especially in Hawkins County, though most of the records of that county were lost to fire." Last - but very important - the parents of Martha Patsy ARTHUR were Gabriel ARTHUR and Hannah Rebecca "Nikitie" (a Cherokee Indian princess). If this Sarah LESTER really did marry my William KING -- this would prove -- once and for all - the Cherokee Indian connection in our KING family! I have put my William KING's line below - I would love to hear from any of you about my theory - and possible connection. ====================================================================== THE LESTER FAMILY - from many sources, including the book "COX & KIN" Alexander Abner LESTER b. 8 AUG 1754 Lunenburg County, VA d.

John LESTER m. Polly TERRY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My King Family <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< William King born July 10, 1779 in Delaware or Virginia ?? died Sept 27, 1865 in Claiborne County, Tennessee My William King married Sarah (HAMMER? GARNER? GARDNER? McCLELLAN?) in Carter County, TN on August 19, 1803. She was born August 24, 1781 - but we are not sure where - possibly Virginia or North Carolina. Sarah died March 30, 1862. We don't know who her parents were. I found the following GARDNER names in Scott County in 1820. I wonder if they are related to my Sarah? William GARDNER - on the 1820 census Elizabeth GARDNER - on the 1820 census Kiziah GARDNER - on a marriage list 1815-1830 Reuben GARDNER - on a marriage list 1815-1830 Hiram GARDNER - on a marriage list 1815-1830 NOTE: There is a Sarah LESTER who married a William KING in the same area of southwest Virginia about the same time - but we don't know if this is our Sarah. 1. Sarah "Sally" LESTER was the daughter of Abner Alexander LESTER. She was born ca 1779 - Montgomery or Lunenburg county - not sure. She married a William KING. 2. Sarah LESTER's sister was Rebecca Arthur LESTER, born 1780, Montgomery County, VA. She married Travis HORTON. They had a daughter named Isabel - born 1809 in Russell County, VA. Isabel married Elias KING. 3. This Elias KING was a son of my William KING. HOWEVER --- my William KING (b. 1779) married a Sarah. There is a William KING family on the 1820 Scott County, VA census, with children's birth years that match the family. (There are also two other KING families living in Scott County in 1820 -- both John KING households. Could these be brothers of my William?) Parts of Scott County were in Washington and Russell counties before that date. I have found many land deeds, grants, and sales for a William KING in Washington County and Russell County from 1795-1802. (All from the Saltworks KING?) But there are other KING names in the same area in the same time period: Joseph, Martha, Robert, and Thomas - but I don't know how they fit with my William. There are also two John King families in the 1820 Scott County census. There was also an Elijah KING as a witness to a deed on 9 DEC 1800 in Lee County, VA. Is he part of my KING line - a brother to my William? Also, there was an Anne KING who married a Henry BOLDMAN in 1830 in Scott County. Could she be related to my William's family? Back to my William: William and Sarah moved to Claiborne County, TN around 1830. William and Sarah had 11 children: ....................................................................... > 1.

Hi Jim: My ancestor that married in to the HOLLAND line was my great aunt, Ann E. Chapman; my grandmother KING's sister. She was born about 1857 (most likely in Bedford Co., TN) and died about 1935. I recall meeting her as a child while visiting with my grandmother KING in Huntsville, AL, around 1930; I was 10 years old at that time. My great aunt was married to Alonzo A. Holland in Bedford Co., TN on 5 Nov 1879. His widow Ann, apparently drew a pension based on her husband's military service during the civil war, perhaps in support of the Federal government. I have no other information on the Holland line, other than I remember hearing my KING aunts talk about their uncle Alonzo and his son Julius (?) who apparently neglected his mother. Here is what I recorded in my notes as the source of my data on Ann E. Chapman: MISC. NOTES: SHE WAS AN HEIR TO THE ESTATE OF HER FATHER JOHN CHAPMAN. SEE DEED TRANSFER MADE IN LINCOLN COUNTY TENNESSEE FROM HIS ESTATE TO W. H. YOUNG, DATED 15 DEC. 1901. DEED BOOK PAGE 313. SHE WAS APPARENTLY NAMED AFTER HER MOTHER. SHE LIVED MANY YEARS IN THE FAYETTEVILLE, TN. AREA. WAS MARRIED TO A. A. HOLLAND. -------- My grandmother KING was named Mary Alina (Lina) CHAPMAN prior to her marriage to my grandfather Thomas Shadrack KING on 24 Dec. 1878 in Bedford Co., TN. She was apparently born in Bedford Co., TN on 1 Jul. 1852. She died in Huntsville, AL on 17 Jan 1943. My grandmother KING's mother was named Ann E. ROBERTSON. She was born Abt. 1819 in VA? She died about 1887 in TN. Her father, John CHAPMAN was born 17 May 1823, most likely VA or WV. He died about 1900 in Lincoln Co. TN, where his estate was probated. Here are my notes on my grandmother KING: NOTES: AT THE TIME OF DEATH SHE HAD LIVED 90 YEARS, 6 MONTHS AND 17 DAYS. SHE WAS ONE OF THE HEIRS TO HER FATHER'S ESTATE. SEE LINCOLN COUNTY TN. DEED BOOK J-J, PAGE 313, WHERE SHE AND HUSBAND SIGNED WITH OTHER HEIRS TO TRANSFER LAND TO W. H. YOUNG ON 25 DEC. 1901. DURING THE CIVIL WAR, HER FAMILY LIVED NEAR WHERE THE BATTLE OF MURFREESBORO, TN. COULD BE HEARD; PER ORAL FAMILY HISTORY. THE SUBMITTER OF THIS DATA SPENT A YEAR OR SO IN HER HOME WHEN HE WAS AGE 9 AND 10 AND SHE TAUGHT HIM ALL OF THE DOMESTIC CHORES, INCLUDING THE SEWING OF QUILT TOPS! SHE WAS A VERY KIND AND LIKABLE PERSON. SHE SPOKE SOME LATIN AND WAS APPARENTLY WELL EDUCATED FOR HER TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCES. THE 1910 U.S. CENSUS FOR HER FAMILY INDICATES SHE GAVE BIRTH TO 10 CHILDREN OF WHICH 7 WERE STILL LIVING AS OF 26 APRIL 1910. SEE BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, ROLL 19, SHEET 24, DIST.74. The 1920 U. S. Census for Madison Co. AL, Vol. 61, ED 150, Sheet 18, Line 4, shows the following information: King, Lina, w (white) (Widow), age 67, born TN, living on "C" Street in Merrimack Village (Now Huntsville, AL).

I am trying to find info about a man named STARKEY KING who was born ca. 1818. I found him in Johnston County in 1860 & 1870 - then in Lenoir in 1880. BUT - I do not know where he came from! I also found a STARKEY KING in Jones County (in 1840 & 1850), but I am just not sure he is the same one. I know he has a very original name, but there are many discrepancies in age, children etc. If anyone can help me with any of his family, that may help.

> David , I have wondered if he is the same Silas King that ended up in Gwinnett Co GA . If so he is buried in Buford Ga. If you find an answer to this please let me know. My ancestor is John King, the Tanner, of Gwinnett Co. We have speculated that Silas and he were related but have not been able to prove the connection.From what I have been told our family referred to Silas as "Uncle Si". > ______________________________ > ATTACHMENT part 2 message/rfc822 > Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 18:00:10 EST > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [KING] KING -- SC > > Can anyone identify the Silas KING in the 1810/20 > Newberry Co, SC census? > Thank you, David Chambers > > ______________________________ > ===== GENEALOGY - THE ART OF CHASING ONES OWN TALE> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

>From Jim Danley @ [email protected] Hi Jim: Yes, it has been awhile since we last exchanged information on our KING lines. In the meantime my wife's health has deteriorated and I have very little free time for genealogy. However, I will give you what information I have on Martha KING and her husband Geo. Washington K. Moore. My data indicates that Martha KING was the 3rd wife of G.W. K. Moore. I think they had three children. It is also possible that I may have her connected to the wrong KING family line. However, as I recall, she was buried in the Ephraim KING family cemetery; which is situated east of Petersburg, TN; thus, indicating some relationship to the Ephraim KING line of LCTN. My burial notes indicates that she was mentioned in Ephraim KING's will. As for the Joshua KING family, it is quite possible that Joshua was related to my Ephraim KING of LCTN; perhaps as a younger brother, cousin or nephew. However, I have never made a documented connection between the two families. It is possible that both families had daughters named Martha KING. Some time ago I collected some data on an early Ephraim KING in Maryland. However, again, I was never able to document a connection to my LCTN Ephraim KING. But his descendants used Ephraim as a given name for their children for at least 3 generations, following Ephraim KING's death in 1846. Below are the references for the source data on Martha KING that I have in my files: BIRTH, MARRIAGE & DEATH: ALL DATA EXTRACTED FROM A FAMILY GROUP SHEET APPEARING IN A BOOKLET TITLED "THE WANDERING KINGS" BY JEANE AUSTIN KING GALAU, SUNDOWN COURT, HIGH CLIFF VILLAGE, ROUTE #1, MENASHA, WISCONSIN 54952, PHONE: 414-989-1072.
