OK, I admit it. I too have been lurking awhile. I haven't found a connection, and quite possibly I may have read a connection and didn't recognize it. Therefore I will post the very little that I have on this line. Please somebody out there be a relation.... On my father's paternal side, my great grandmother was: Addie Elizabeth KING (b. 20 Jan 1857 in IL, d. 15 Nov 1943 in CA) m. 5 Sep 1882 to Simpson Dallas OSBURN (b. 3 May 1845 in IN, d. 8 Jul 1924 in CA) Addie's parents were: Charles KING of England and Esther (last name unknown) of IA(?) I have just started researching this line. Any connections would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J. Pierce
