La Vera; Many thanks to a previously unknown cousin, Ken Slaten, I now have a very good history of My King Alabama ancestors. My 3rd Great Grandfather was Joseph Griffin who was born in SC about 1765-1767. He married 1. Mary Ann and had 5 children, Lucinda who married a Martindale, Thacker W., John W. who married Sarah ?, Lorenzo D. who resided in Dallas Co. near Selma and Mary Hester A. who married John Higginbotham 1/31/1850 in Madison Co. Mary Ann died abt. 1818. On March 20, 1820 he married Charity Davis who was 30 years his junior, and from NC. They had 4 children, Joseph Casin, b. 12/9/ 1820 and m. Katherine True, Samuel J. b 1830, William b 1834 and Sarah Jane "Jenny" my gg grandmother b 2/1836 and married Ruben Webster. I have been told that one of Jenny's brothers was killed in the "War of Northern Aggression." I do not know if it was a brother or a half brother.

Kathy - You are sending in plain text - which is super. If you were not, the posts would not be accepted by RootsWeb. I am the listowner of the King list. I do not know which Tom King you are speaking of - he has not contacted me about anything, so I do not know why he is returning your posts.

Dear Earnie and the List, Now you are getting real close to MY territory! I have been searching for several years for the father of my great, great grandfather, John Rooney KING. He was born in Jackson Co., AL (right next door to Madison Co.). His DOB was 22-NOV-1839 and died 08-SEP-1870 and is buried in the Langston Cemetery in Jackson Co., AL. I knew from census records that his mother's name was Elizabeth and with the help of my cousin, Neta Wood, we have just confirmed her maiden name was DABNEY. I have just found a marriage record for an Elijah KING to an Elizabeth Dabny/Dalony? who were married 14-JAN-1831 in Madison Co., AL. This info was found at the Clayton Library in Houston, TX on 27-JUL-1998 in a book called Early Alabama Marriages published by Family Adventures, P. O. Box 290354, San Antonio, TX 78280. >From this book I copied all the male KINGs, but I am sorry to say not the females. John R. KING named his first son Lester Elijah KING so I feel we are on the right track! If anyone can confirm descendants of this Elijah and Elizabeth KING, I would greatly appreciate it. If you might be a descendant of any of the above, that would be even better. I have more info to share on John Rooney KING and his mother and siblings. BTW, Elizabeth had a brother named James Dabney. He married a Sara (Sarah?), maiden name unknown. Earnie, I will look for your Clarissa as I look for Elijah.

Some of his neighbors were also from WAKE Co. NC. My ancestor, Ephraim KING, was born about 1785 in NC.

BURROW Would appreciate receiving additional data on my KING family line. Will share data with others working on primary or related lines. Tom King, Sr. Tel: 619-451-3833 San Diego, CA. >> Hi Tom, The name of Baxter is much associated with a King family who settled in the Hillsborough area of North Carolina, very near the town of Chapel Hill. I have some data on that family, if you think it is likely that the Baxter that was near your Kings in Tenn, was part of the group. One of my distant cousins, Julia Royster married a Harkins in Alabama. The Roysters were originally from Person County, having settled there from Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The names of Barham and McAdams are also familiar names in the Person/Caswell Counties in NC. Person and Caswell were originally part of Orange County in the 1750/60's. There was also another branch of Kings in the Person County area; I have not researched that particular line; I have King family who were in northern Alamance County, which is just below Caswell and south west of Person. My problem is the name of Ephraim; I cannot find any data in the King lineages that I have collected. Have you found the name of Ephraim King on any of the tax lists for NC during the time he would have been there? He would be listed on that if he were 21 whether or not he had property or not. I believe that you have a pretty safe bet that your Kings did originate in this general area of NC. Best regards, John Fox Winston-Salem, NC

Re: Revolutionary War Patroit graves at the Dutch Reformed Church at Belleville (Second River), Essex County, New Jersey. The King veterans that were buried there are descendants of Adrian KONING, the immigrant from Holland who lived in New Amsterdam and his several of his grandsons, including Abraham and Johannes Koning who lived at Second River. Most of the their descendants used the surname KING. I have data to swap regarding some of these Essex County Kings, if anyone is interested. George King Nichols

John and Jean King came to what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania in circa 1730. They emigrated from Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland, with their daughter, Martha, b. 1724; and four sons: Samuel, b. abt. 1708; Victor, b. 1710; William, b. 1712, and James, b. 1714. John King died on 27 Jan 1747 and Jean King died on 20 Aug 1746 in Tyrone Township, York County (now Adams County) Pennsylvania. They are both buried in Great Conewago Presbyterian Cemetery, Hunterstown, Pennsylvania. Martha King died, unmarried, on 23 Dec 1760 and is buried in the same cemetery. Samuel King is known to have married, and to have had at least two children; John, b. after 1730; and Joan, b. after 1730. Nothing further is known concerning Samuel, and it is believed that he moved on to Virginia and/or the Carolinas soon after his marriage. It is known that the King family of Adams County, Pennsylvania had relatives in North Carolina and Virginia. William King, son of John and Jean, died unmarried on 13 Oct 1794 and is buried in the Hunterstown Presbyterian Cemetery with his parents and his sister. James King married in 1750 to an unknown spouse. He died on 9 Nov 1799 in Hunterstown, and is also believed to have been buried there. He is known to have had at least one child, William King, b. 1754, who married Ann McIlhenny about 1780. Victor King, the second son of John and Jean King, was married twice. His first wife was Jean _____. They had 6 children: Jean, b. 16 Nov 1746; Hugh, b. 17 Jan 1750; John, b. 22 Sep 1753; Agnes, b. 10 Mar 1756; Victor Jr., b. 30 Jul 1758; and Martha, b. 28 Nov 1760. On 8 Oct 1761, Victor married, second, Jane Moffit.

Thomas is believed to have been the youngest child, but his birthdate is uncertain. William King, son of Victor and Jane Moffit King, married Nancy Agnes Waugh in what is now Adams County, PA, on 2 Apr 1787. In 1789 they moved to Georgetown, Scott County, Kentucky, and in about 1800 to what is now Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio. They had 6 children: Mary, b. 1789 in Georgetown; Victor b. 11 Mar 1790 in Georgetown; John, b. 16 Oct 1791 in Georgetown; Samuel Moffett, b. 11 Nov 1793 in George- town; Susan, b. 15 Oct 1796 in Georgetown, and Jane, b. 1800 in Montgomery County, Ohio. In 1817, Victor and John King, sons of William and Nancy, moved to Madison, Jefferson County, Indiana. John was married in December of that year to Harriett _____ [his obit. says that he returned to Dayton to marry, but I have been able to find no record of his marriage, despite the fact that his father was a deacon and secretary of the First Presby- terian Church in Dayton. I have found some evidence that he married his first cousin, the daughter of his uncle, Thomas King, but no real proof] John and Harriett had 5 children: William, b. 6 Apr 1820 in Madison, Jefferson County, Indiana, d. unmarried on 30 Sep 1847; Thomas, b. 8 Oct 1822 in Madison, d. 28 Mar 1824; Margaret Jane, b. 21 Jul 1825 in Madison; Mary Elizabeth, b. 3 Mar 1828 in Madison, d. 26 Mar 1836; and Nancy Waugh, b. 16 Jun 1830 in Madison, d. 15 Apr 1872. Margaret Jane King married Josiah S. Weyer in Madison on 5 Mar 1844. Their oldest child was John King Weyer,who was my g-grandfather. Some of the families that my Kings married into were: In Adams County, PA: McIllhenny, McElhenny, Voorhees, Moffit, Waugh In Scott County, KY: Lyle In Montgomery Co, OH: Williams, Breneman, Spining, Alexander In Jefferson Co., IN: Weyer, Woodburn If this connects with anyone out there, even remotely, I'd like very much to hear from you and to trade information.

He had a daughter, Margaret who married Charles Ritterhouse Waddell, daughter of John Waddell who fought in the battle of Culloden in 1745. Also Nancy Sevier , daughter of Gen.
