    3. Once again, just in case there's a new list member who can help. I continue to seek any information on my grandparents, aunts and uncles. Grandparents were John KING and Janet Greig JACK, both of SCT, who came to the States in 1860. They met aboard ship, were married very soon after arrival in Baltimore (on 5/14/1860 or 5/19/1860), then settled in Raleigh, Wake Co., NC. John King purchased property on Hargett Street in Raleigh in 1869. He is listed in the 1870 and 1880 censuses as a stone cutter, is not found later - is presumed to have died (in Raleigh) before 1900. Janet Greig Jack was the daughter of James Jack and Jane Rattray of Cupar, Fife, SCT, though she was b. 1839 in Scoonie, Fife. John and Janet had 7 children, all born in Raleigh: Christina O. King, b. 1863 - d. 1938 in Baltimore, MD William King, b. 1865 - d. 1927 in Baltimore George King, b. 1869 - d. bef. 1880 (not shown on that census) John P. King, b. 1871 - d. 1931 in Baltimore Margaret Kng, b. 1874 - d. 1948 in Baltimore Janet, b. 1877 - d. 1953 in Baltimore Peter Robert, b. 1880 - d. 1956 in Elkhart, Elkhart Co, IN With the exception of George and Peter, all the above children are buried in Loudon Park Cemetery in Baltimore (Lot #221, Bethel Section). In the same plot is a Willie King, d. 1910 at age of 6 weeks. Janet Greig Jack d. 1910 in Baltimore; per her obit, she was to be buried in Loudon Park Cemetery, also, but the cemetery says she isn't there. Please forgive the length, but I wanted to put forth as much info as possible. The only other lead I have is a letter from a Gilmore King to "Aunt Daisy" (my mother) which has a return address of Rittenhouse Street NW, Baltimore - this from back in the '40's. If anyone has anything that will help me with any of these people, please come back to me directly. Many thanks. Bob King
