Dear King rooters, The MA-King email has encouraged me to throw my KING hat in the ring! I have an E. B. (EBENEZER) KING, b. 1810 in the Carolinas. Some of our family believe he descended from a New England branch of KINGS. A family story revealed he was related to the family of RUFUS KING from MA-CT, but who served in the Congress from NY. His mother was named ELENDER, born 1778 in Maryland. She was 32 years of age when he was born which suggests she had older children. We do not know his siblings either. Ebenezer and his mother first show up in Lincoln County, TN in the 1830 census. It is thought Ebenezer was a recipient of a land grant, possibly from his father's service in War. His first son was named MILES KING, which also seems to fit with some of the MA-King information. If any of these "pieces" fit into your puzzle or remind you of some KING history that would help our family find the father of E.B. (Ebenezer) KING, I would be so grateful to hear from you. Sincere thanks, Jo Hughes, Seattle
