Would like to discuss the King families of Bladen County, NC with anyone researching them. This includes John King and Jane Moorehead who migrated to Camden County, Georgia at the time of the Revolution. Also, Duncan King (b. 1729) who married Lydia Fosque. Also, my ancestor George King listed below. I am highly interested in finding the origin of George King. I think Putnam County, Georgia is a possibility. All descendants of George King lived in Bladen County, NC. However, two of his grandsons, Thomas Norman King and George B. King, migrated to Centerville, Leon County, Texas in the late 1800s. 1. GEORGE1 KING was born Bef. 1790, and died Bef. 03 April, 1823. He married LENORA ASHFORD, daughter of STREET ASHFORD and ANN BRYAN. Notes for GEORGE KING: The origin of George King is unknown. The only reference to him is in the will of Street Ashford. Further information on him can be derived by studying the records of his wife, Lenora Ashford. George may have died in Georgia or in Bladen County, North Carolina. The prior is much more probable. Lenora King first appears in the deed records of Bladen County on 3 April, 1823. She is acting independantly in a deed with John McGill and his wife Elizabeth Ann Ashford, sister to Lenora. Therefore, George must have died prior to this. It is possible that Lenora moved her young family back home after George King died. We know George and Lenora were living in Georgia in the year 1816, since their son, Street Ashford King, lists his birthplace as Georgia in the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 Bladen County census. Children of GEORGE KING and LENORA ASHFORD are: i. ANNA D.2 KING, b. Abt. 1809; d. Aft. 1870, Bladen County, NC; m. JOSEPH ALLEN, Abt. 1830. ii. ??? KING, b. Bet. 1810 - 1820. iii. GEORGE WASHINGTON KING, b. Abt. 1815; d. Aft. 1854, Bladen County, NC; m. AMY "LOVEDY" MUNCE, Abt. 1841. iv. STREET ASHFORD KING, b. 10 August, 1816, Georgia; d. 25 December, 1898, Bethel Township, Bladen County, NC; m. CELIA ALLEN, Abt. 1842. Thanks, Jason Bordeaux
