Lurana Birks/Burks married George W. King in 1861 Lawrence Co., AL. They moved to Lauderdale Co., MS by 1862 when he joined the Confederate Army. He said when he returned from the War, they were "gone" - dead or deserted? She was born in 1837 and George Wade King was born in 1839. On the 1850 Lawrence Co., AL Census she was listed as Raney Birks, age 13, with Riley Birks (probably her GFather). What happened to this family? George Wade King b. 1839 NC d. 1923 Lauderdale Co., MS married Ann Raney Miller, dau. of Eli T. Miller and Catherine Hall Rainey Miller, in 1866 in Lauderdale Co., MS and had a large family. I'd love to swap notes on any of these lines!
