Her husband is unknown, but as I said I believe him to be James > M. King born circa 1790-1800 NC I am searching for information as to parents and/or siblings of James Monroe King . His mother's name was Nancy but I do not know his father. He m. Mildred Jane Kennett in Floyd Co., VA in 1864 but I have not found him in any VA census until after his marriage. Does this connect with any of your Kings in NC? ANy info would be greatly appreciated. Mary Ellen This got me to thinking about old family legend my father tells. Since this is same time period. Thought I post it. I don't think the above James is same as legend. But same thing could have happen to above James. My Father tells of Samuel Francis King having a brother James, who fought in Civil War and marrying a girl while away. Her family being from the other side. These were in Estill-Clark Co. Ky area by 1840 Now, what I can prove. Samuel Francis King was born in 1856 and did have a brother James , but he was born in 1859, far to young to have fought in the civil war. Samuel"s father was just the right age to have a brother who fought in Civil War. So legend could be one generation off. The only problem is I can't find proof of William's parents/siblings after 20 years of searching. Might be some how connected to those in Early Bourbon co. KY 1A1i2.......... William Sanford b 1832 m Elizabeth Bradley in 1855 in Clarke. KY 1A1i2a............ Samuel Francis 1856 m Pearl Owen 1A1i2b............
