I have tried to get something going with Joshua King in Athens Co., but no connections - I hear only a deafening silence. I am reasonably certain now that Laurence King in the 1830 Athens Co. census is the father of Robert H., James and Joshua. They are all born in Va. - the right age to be the same sons as Laurence in Wood Co., Va. in 1820. All state they were born in Va. Also, Laurence lived next door to Luallen (Lewellyn) - his youngest son, Joshua married Susan L. in 1836. I thought I might try to stir up something with the descendants of JAMES KING b. 1807-8 in Va., m. first Jane (1840 c. with Wm., Mary, Chas., Maria (possibly Mary Catherine - next census she seems to be Catherine.), Louisa, Amanda, Julia A. In 1850 James is married to Theresa with the four last girls plus a Phoebe, James M. and George W. Are there any JAMES KING descendants out there in ether-net? For me, there are Holdrens, Robinetts and Lewellyns in Joshua's line. I have talked to a number of Holdrens & Robinetts. JAMES - JOSHUA - LAURENCE KING - where are you? thanks - Pat Snyder
