My interest is that a number of William R.

I think that your John T. is a son of John >>>King and Elizabeth Coleman. John King was a son of John King and >>>Patience Speights King of Darlington County, SC. John King was a son of >>>Capt.

Yes James died >>>in Conecuh County. Yes Catherine moved to Union County, AR after his >>>death. A couple of James and Catherine Coleman King's daughters married >>>Witherington. By way, Catherine Coleman and Betwey Coleman were >>>daughters of Rev. James Coleman of Darlington County, SC. From my data, >>>it appears that John King and Betsey and James King and Catherine moved >>>to Conecuh County, AL about the same time and probably together. Their >>>children married into the Witherington family in Conecuh County. This >>>James was aPrimitive Baptist. The James in Monroe County was am eminent >>>Methodist Preacher.
