Phebe KING was born about 1827 and died 1892 in Grant County, West Virginia. She married John CRITES. He was born about 1834 in Virginia and died in Dorcas, Grant County, West Virginia. The 1850 census of Hardy County, Virginia, has this household: George King 59 laborer Mary King 59 Elizabeth Ann King 25 Phebe Jane King 23 (In the 1860s part of what was in 1850 Hardy County, Virginia, became Grant County, West Virginia.) There is a Pendleton County, Virginia, marriage bond dated 8 February 1824 for George King and Mary SIMS. (Pendleton County is adjacent to modern day Grant County.) Do these names look familiar? Can anyone on this list confirm or refute that George and Mary (Sims) King are the parents of Phebe (King) Crites? Frances Van Scoy [email protected]
