I am most interested in your Thomas and Mary Blackwell King. My ancestor was Nancy King, b c 1786 in SC...possibly York Co., or the southern part of NC that later became SC. She married James Pursley of York Co., SC. They moved to TN and were in McMinn Co. for the 1830 census. They may have lived in Maury Co. before McMinn. They married c 1809. One of their sons was named Thomas King Pursley. Because of this I believe her father's name was probably Thomas. Their oldest daughter may have been named Mary. I have been unable to uncover a Thomas King to fit this puzzle. Could Thomas and Mary be her parents? When were they married?
