Hello, I'm new to this list, althought this query isn't new. I do have a little more information on Lawrence. I'm trying to make a connection between Lawrence King of Wod (Wood?) Co., Va. and Lawrence King of Athens Co., Ohio. The 1820 census shows the Va. Lawrence had 3 sons who could be Robert, James and Joshua in Ohio. Lawrence was born c. 1760-70, his wife is in the same age group in both census records. She may have been born nearer 1760 than 70. I have no proof that Lawrence was the father of the three men other than they were all born in Va and the census fits. In Ohio, Robert lived next door to Lawrence in 1830 then disappears. James m. Lydia Powell and lived next door to Larwence in 1840 and there are no sons with L. There is another James who married a Teresa, but I believe he came from Pa. There is also a Pennyslvania Joshua King who married a Susan at about the same time as my Joshua but they did not stay in Athens-Vinton County. Joshua King from VA. married Susan Llewellyn. (If anyone knows if she is the daughter of Thos., I'd love that too!!!) They had ten children and married into old Athens co. families, Knowlton, Robinett, Dickinson for a start. There have to be many King families in that part of the country - would love to hear from a descendant of any of them. Thanks, Pat Snyder
