Drury King was born about 1744, probably in NC. He m. Mildred Williams. One of his brothers is believed to be Francis (in Wake), another may have been William (in Halifax). He lived in Halifax Co. until the early 1780's then moved to Wake. He died in Wake before 1788. He left minor children. The children mentioned in the probate include Drury, Richard, John, William, Berry (Littleberry?) and Burwell. I descend from a long line of Drury Kings. I am wondering if this one is the first, and if so, where did the name originate? It has been suggested that his father might be William King of Edgecombe Co. who died abt. 1759. William's wife was named Elizabeth. All descending families had an Elizabeth, but, at that time, it was a common name. In later generations, the Kings intermarried with the Joiners. They also had lots of Drurys. Any collaboration would be appreciated. Barbara King Dallas

I too hope that Donald will join the DNA project. Bill King king.w.d@comcast.net

Hi, I am new to the list and was wondering if anyone is researching John KING (age 35, b. TN) and his wife Elizabeth (age 25, b. TN), who are recorded in the 1860 Fulton Co., AR census in Wyatt Twp.? Their children were William, Joseph, May(?), Manerva, Nancy, and Samuel--all born AR. Thanks, Lola

Donald, I hope you will consider joining the King DNA Project. See http://www.familytreedna.com/(apoiek55dlsen3ixprbeyhzd)/public/KING_FamilyTree_YDNA_Project/index.aspx. I'm sure your line's dna would be a valuable addition to the database. I am descended from a John King, born 1775 in VA, died 1842 in Barren Co., KY, and believe the dna project holds out the best hope for finding his VA family. Those interested in my John King are invited to view his webpage at http://azstrong.tripod.com/harry_alice/legacy/1124.htm. Robert Strong

Thomas King (1714-1798) Louisa Co. VA Thomas' first wife was named Sarah, based on the following land deed recorded in 1751 when Thomas was 37years of age: Louisa County, Virginia Deed Book A and B, 1742-1759. Abstracted and Compiled by Rosalie Edith Davis. Bellevue, Washington 1976. page 69: "p.444-445. 16 Oct. 1751 Thomas King of St. Martin's Par., Louisa Co., Planter, and Sarah, his wife, to John Pettus of same, Gent. (pounds)120 currt. money. 214 acres; part of a tract granted to Shirley Watley by patent 25 May 1734; conveyed to Joseph Wade 6 Oct. 1737; conveyed to William Harris, and by sd. Harris to sd. King by deed 28 Oct 1747. The other part of afsd. land was bequeathed by the Last Will and Testament of Edward Bullock, dec'd., unto Lucy Tate, wife of William Tate; by same conveyed to Joseph Wade 6 Oct 1737; conveyed to William Harris; by Harris to sd. King 28 Oct 1747 of record in Hanover Co... corner of Wm Thomson's in James Harris' line...Richard Davenport's line...David Smith's line...on Main Road to Elk Creek...south fork of Little Rocky Creek...another corner of David Smith's, up the Creek...John Hales's...Mark Wheeler's line. Thomas King Sarah King Wit: Richard Wright, William Pettus, John Wright, John Carter, William Berrey. 22 Oct. 1751 acknowledged by Thomas King. Sarah, his wife, declared her consent." We are uncertain of Sarah�s family name. Others have suggested it was Alexander, with a marriage in Culpepper, VA in 1745, and also possibly as Harrison, and possibly as Sackville by the descendants of his son, Walter King. Sarah is presumed to be the mother of the first of Thomas� children beginning about 1748 - Sackville, William, Thomas Jr., and Elisha. By July 1758 we know Thomas was married to Tillah (Zillah) White and resided at Meadowood, his home for the next 40 years. Tillah may have been mother to John, Philip and Walter and probably the daughters, Margaret, Catherine, Martha, and Elizabeth. Benjamin was born in 1767 and was the youngest son. His mother was, almost certainly, Tillah (Zillah) since he named his first daughter Zilla. A hand-written note handed down from Magdalena King (grand-daughter of Benjamin), refers to Benjamin's mother and father as Thomas and Sarah. The Children of Thomas King: We know the children of Thomas King with reasonable certainty from the following deed showing the transfer by his heirs of a majority of his land to his youngest son, Benjamin. Deed Book I, Page 637 28 Dec 1798 Sackville King & Ann (wife), William King & Polly (wife), Thomas King, Elisha King & Judith (wife), John King & Sarah (wife), Phillip King & Nancy (wife), Margaret Telford & John (husband) Walter King & Nancy (wife), Catherine King, Martha King, Elizabeth King of Louisa of the one part and Benjamin King of the other part, for �50 for 263 acres on both sides of Pamunkey River and joining land of James Winston, George Haywood on one side of the river, and John Ambler and John Powell on the other side [from the USGenWeb site for Louisa County: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/louisa/deeds/manydeed.txt]. There were 12 children, 8 boys and 4 girls, born over a period of about 20 years. They are presumably listed in the deed by age in descending order: Sackville William Thomas, Jr. Elisha John Phillip Margaret Walter Catherine Martha Elizabeth Benjamin Sackville was born about 1748 and his mother must have been Sarah although we have no record of it. Sackville at one point owned an "Ordinary" in Louisa, the term then used for what we would call a roadside tavern or pub, a place of meeting, drinking, eating and (probably) sleeping for travelers. He also became an officer in the revolutionary army. He married Ann Payne. He and Ann subsequently moved westward in Virginia to Fluvanna and then Campbell County. William was born about 1750 and his mother was also probably Sarah. He also served in the army. He married Mary (Polly) Woodson and subsequently moved to Campbell County, Virginia. He and/or his descendants may have eventually ended up in Monroe County, Alabama. Thomas, Junior, we know little of at this time, but would place his birth at about 1752. The deed above suggests that he was unmarried. His will suggests that he remained in Louisa County all of his life. As of yet no military record has been found. Elisha was born in 1753 (from Tina Hall's website) and served as an officer in the Continental line for three years. He married Judith (?). He received a large land grant in Ohio for his service and may have migrated there. John was born in 1758. He served in George Washington's personal guard (Life Guard). He married Sarah LeMaster in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and remained there. Phillip was born in 1760 and also served in the Continental army. He was taken prisoner and escaped. He married Nancy Woodson. They eventually went to Tennessee. Margaret King, presumably born about 1762, married John Telford and lived in Virginia. Walter was born about 1764 in Louisa County. He married Nancy Sevier and lived in Tennessee. Catherine, Martha and Elizabeth have no information available. At least one, Catherine, was probably born next, about 1766, and Martha and Elizabeth may have been born before or after Benjamin. Benjamin was the youngest son, born September 11, 1767, in Louisa County, Virginia. Benjamin was too young to have served in the Revolutionary War. He married Martha Haywood, became a Methodist Episcopal minister and in 1803 moved west to Jefferson County, Kentucky. In 1808 they moved to Posey Township, Harrison County, Indiana, where he lived the rest of his life. The five-year gap between the birth of Elisha and John precedes the year 1758 when we know that Thomas was married to Tillah White. Quite possibly during this time Thomas lost his first wife, Sarah. One must also consider his slaves as members of Thomas King's family. He had at various times over the years from three to five slaves named Ned, Cupid, Nan, James, Peter, and Harry. [from: Louisa County, Virginia. Tithables and Census, 1743-1785. Edited and Compiled by Rosalie Edith Davis, Manchester, Missouri, 1988.] Nothing more is known of the slaves than the listing of their names. No doubt they also had families but only the names of slaves over 16 were recorded. There is no mention of them in the deed transferring Meadowood to Benjamin. One cannot help but think, in view of Benjamin becoming a minister and eventually settling in the Northwest Territory, that he rejected slavery. The Northwest Ordinance, passed by Congress in 1787, created the Northwest Territory as a slave-free territory in the land "North-West of the Ohio River."

Hi Folks: If you or a friend have been having problems the last couple of days signing on to AOL, you are they are most likely been using a Norton Security program that has been malfunctioning. An article on page D-2 in the Business Section of the Washington post newspaper for Saturday, explains how to go about temporarily deactivating the Norton program so that you can get in to AOL and the Internet, where you can then update the Norton program and restart your computer. Good luck to you or your friend. Tom King, Sr. Near Leesburg, VA

I would request a copy of the marriage license and marriage certificate. If you think it could have been a neighboring county..write to them also. Jan

The 1880 Federal Census for Pennsylvania, Cambria Co., p. 13 or p. 114 has Donnelly, William 22 b. New Jersey. " , Emma 19 b. Penna. She's Emma King and they are newly married. How may I find out their marriage record or her parents' names? They were probably married in Cambria Co. or she may have been from a neighboring county. Thank you, Ron Brennan

The current records are kept at Dept of Vital Stats, and can only be obtained with proper ID and only by certain relatives. The older records are of concerns. I am from DE, and the state policy is as follows: "The Delaware Public Archives houses birth certificates created since 1913 that are 72 years or older and death and marriage certificates 40 years old or older. This means that we only have birth certificates up through and including 1933, and marriage and death certificates up through and including 1965."

In Georgia Certified copies of death records are available from 1919 to the present. Death certificates are available to the general public. The person requesting a certified copy of a death record must provide the following information and a signed request: 1.. Full name of deceased, 2.. Date of death (month, day, year), 3.. Place of death (city, county), 4.. Age of deceased at death, 5.. Sex, 6.. Race (optional), 7.. The number of copies requested. 8.. Relationship to deceased. Birth records are available from 1919 to the present. Georgia law and Department of Human Resources regulation require that all requests for vital records include the signature of the requestor and the proper fee. Access to birth records is limited to: a.. the person named on the certificate b.. the parents shown on the birth record c.. an authorized legal guardian or agent d.. grandparents of the person named on the certificate e.. an adult child of the person named on the certificate f.. an adult sibling of the person named on the certificate g.. the spouse of the person named on the certificate At one time the Probate Judge's office in my county had a log of birth and death records that anyone could look at. Not anymore. The law changed a few years ago and you can no longer look at these records. This makes it difficult to verify that someone is actually an ancestor, especially if you are making an educated guess. Allan

Genealogists Unite!!! This will severely hamper our abililty to do what we love. I know for myself this is my sanity. I am disabled with a severe depression and anxiety disorder. The search keeps me going for another day. I called my senators. Won't you do the same. http://www.inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/2488 Regards, Clara Kimbrough

You haven't been able to access birth or death records for several years in Georgia so this is nothing new.

Hello, Cathy My name is Rebecca King, and I was wondering if you had any further information on William King who you said was born after 1850. My William was in Armstrong County, PA for the 1900 Federal Census and was married to a woman named Margaret. I have no idea who his parents are, and it would be great if they are the same William.

John King (1813) was the son of John King and Mary Baker of Fulton County Pa. He was born in the Washington County Md area. The family was members of the Brethren church . Most of them moved west to Ohio,Ill, and Iowa.

Cathy, Could you tell me about the father of your John King(born 1813). I am seaching for a John King. (OH, there are so many). John King born about 1790 in VA. Married Elizabeth McKinneyborn About 1790 in Staunton, VA and daughter of Alexander and Esther Walker Campbell McKinney) on 4 APR 1811 in St. Charles, MO. 1817 Census of Femme Osage Twp., St. Charles, MO. 1817 Tax List, Montgomery Co., MO. 1819 tax list in Montgomery Co., MO, proof-MO Territory, MO Pioneers, Volume 8. Then 1830, Charrette, Montgomery Co., MO living with his son John C King. 1840 Census, Charrette, Warren Co., MO with his son John C King. What I'm trying to do is locate John King in Kentucky then back to VA. He came to Missouri with the McKinney family per John McKinney's Biography in Lexington, KY. The McKinney family traveled with the Boone and Morgan families from VA to KY then on to MO. So, John King should be in one of these places. John King also had a son called Harrison King born 14 OCT 1812 in St. Charles, MO. This is my direct line. I'm hoping that your John & mine seem to match, or you might recognise some of the names?!!! Looking forward to your reply. Theresa Baxter nee King
