Hello All I am looking for the parents of Aaron King. He was born in "the Carolinas" abt 1747-1757. THe family was possibly of Irish heritage as they were very knowledge about Irish culture and sang Iriah songs and danced Irish jigs. He was suppose to have served with George Rogers Clark during the Revolution (Revolutionary War Soldiers buried in Missouri) but all that has ever been found was his service with George Rogers Clark in putting down the Indians in 1787. He migrated to Missouri abt 1819. He belonged to the Silver Creek Baptish Church near Mt. Airy, MO. He lived in Madison Co. KY on the Paint lick Creek which divided Madison from Garrard County (near the town of Paint Lick) for some 30 years. He went from the Carolinas to KY about 1770 where he married Hannah (one source says Honour, but all deed records say Hannah) Dyer about 1780. Hannah appearently died before 1818 as she stopped appearing on records of land transactions by 1818 and no mention is made of her after the family moved to MO. Aaron and his family (there were 9 children -- see below) first settled in Howard Co., MO, then went to Randolph Co. In 1840 he was living with his dau Elizabeth and her husband James Anderson in Chariton Co., MO. His age was under 90. He died intestate before 31 Aug 1844, appearently in Randolph Co. He is suppose to have been buried in Macon Co. He and Hannah Dyer King had the following children, all born in Madison Co., KY: 1. William b, abt 1782, m. Sally Jarvis 1802 in Madison Co,. KY in the 1810 Census of Madison Co. he was m. with 4 children. He appearently moved to IL and the family lost track of him; 2. Moses b. abt 1787 and was in Chariton Co., MO in 1820 Census. He may have been the Moses who died in 1824; marriage unknown; 3. Joel, Sr b. 1789, m. Elizabeth "Betsy" Finnell after Mar 1809 in Garrard Co., KY. He died in 1847 in Macon Co., MO. 4. Andrew b. aft 1790 and m. Nancy "Nanny" Finnell 1817 in Garrard Co., KY. He d. bef 31 Oct 1855 in Monroe Co., MO. 5. John King abt 1791 m. Rachel Enyart 1811, Richmond, Madison, KY and d. bef 1850 in Howard Co., MO. 6. Marry "Polly" b. 1795 m. John Charles Finnell abt 1811 and d. in 1860. 7. Elizabeth "Betty" b. in 1797 and m. James Anderson bef 1821. 8. James King b. 1798 and m. Nancy Patterson. He may have also m. a Keziah Penic. 9. Willis b. bet 1800/1810 and is thought to have d. before the family moved to MO. Any help would be appreciated. He and Hannah (whose parents I also cannot find) were my 4th great grandparents. Earl
