Hi, I am searching for any information on the King family of Dillon County, SC and Robeson County, NC. I would love to know where their graves are and if anyone has photos of them. William Edward ("Eddie") King, was born about March 1850 in North Carolina. In the 1880 census he and his wife, Margret J.(maiden name unknown, born about September 1851 in North Carolina), and four daughters (Dannie, Mattie E., Loula L., and Mary) lived in the Thompsons Township of Robeson County, NC. Eddie King was a farmer, and Margret was a homemaker. In the 1900 census he is shown living as a boarder in Manning Township of what was then Marion County, SC (now Dillon County, SC) and working as a carpenter. Margret and four other children--a daughter and three sons--("Donnie" Nettie, "Lonnie" Lonzo, Larance, and Ernest B.) are shown as farm laborers living in nearby Hillsborough Township of what was then Marion County, SC (now Dillon County, SC). I would be grateful for any information on Margret J. and William Edward ("Eddie") King. The 1900 census shows Margret married for 30 years, having given birth to 11 children, 9 then living, including, perhaps, a daughter named Pauline. My paternal grandmother is Donnie E[nette] "Nettie" King Neely Riley who was born May 29, 1892 (although she shortened the date to 1900). She was especially close to her brother, Lonnie King (born March 4 in either 1885 or 1890). Lonnie's first wife was Lizzie Huggins, and they had two children, Rembert Lonzo King and Pauline King (married name unknown). His second wife was Mary Margaret Chappell, and they had one daughter, Helen Chappell King Greene. Lonnie King was living in Saint Paul's, Robeson County, NC when he died in 1931. All of the children of William Edward ("Eddie") King and Margret J. are, like their parents, also shown as born in North Carolina. The family probably moved to South Carolina in 1894 or later. My grandmother married Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr. (born November 11, 1888 in South Carolina) from Bayboro, Horry County, SC, and they moved to Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia where all their children and grandchildren were born. Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr. was the son of Joseph E. Neely and Sharlotte A. Lee Neely. On March 3, 1920 my grandmother gave birth to twin sons who died within hours. On the death certificate my grandfather gives my grandmother's name as Donnie N. Neely. (I had only known her as Nettie, not Donnie, and this was my first clue to her childhood name.) My father, Joseph Bowden Neely, Jr., was born three years later, and my uncle, James Robert Neely, Sr., seven years later. My grandmother claimed to be of French descent. I want to check out the 1860 Robeson County, NC census. I hope to find William Edward ("Eddie") King in the 1860 Robeson County, NC census when he would have been a 9 or 10-year-old boy. I would love to know his parents' and siblings' names. I am guessing that in another Robeson County, NC family there was an 8 or 9-year-old girl on that same 1860 census named Margret J., but without her family name, it may be impossible to find her. I have pictures of Lonnie and others on our genealogy web site below. I am going to keep following every clue until I find out all about the Kings and Neelys. Thanks, Sharlotte http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/n/Sharlotte--N-Donnelly
