PAT, I may still be missing something. I take it that the men you list were all brothers. Did you list their parents in some post? In any case, here is some info on Sarah and her family. Sarah is dau of Richard King and prob Mary Daley. According to a late census entry for Sarah, Richard was b. VA. His father was the John King b. Loudoun Co VA who served REV WAR Bedford Co PA and went to Mason, then Bracken Co KY that I wrote of earlier. Sarah, dau of Richard and granddaughter of John was the mother of an Elza and aunt of another. Hope this sorts it out a bit, as I am not sure that I can explain the Elza King/Elza McDaniel coincidences. Sarah King was born, probably Bracken Co, possibly Nicholas Co KY in 1804. She married James William McDaniel in Bracken in 1822 and appears to have moved to Decatur Co IN about 1835. Elza McDaniel was probably born there about 1837. I need to date this a with a bit more certainty. There are Kings in Decatur Co, some of whom were probably relatives. Within a few years, the family moved to Shelby Co IN where the two eldest children John and Sarah married Ohioans. Sarah married William Kinney whose family was from Knox Co OH in 1849. John married Elizabeth Ulrey whose family was from Warren Co OH in 1852. There MAY have been some related Sellers and Kings in Warren--but only circumstantial evidence to date. Some of the family went to Shelby Co IL in 1854; however, John and Elizabeth returned to IN about 1855/56 and lived in Marion Co, near Indianapolis. There is some evidence from an in-law family estate that there were Kings, related somehow, who also lived in Marion Co shortly after the Civil War; however, soon after the war, the orphaned children McDaniel returned to Shelby Co IL to stay. Sarah King had a "cousin," William King (somewhat uncertain who their common ancestor was) who lived in a couple of IN counties, including Hendricks Co, as I recall. He had a son born in 1843 whom he named Elza. It appears that sometime during the war (have to check my records), this family also moved to Shelby Co IL. He joined a regiment which including a McDaniel son, Charles Wesley, and the son-in-law, William Kinney. Elza McDaniel joined a different Illinois regiment. On the McDaniel side, I know little of which of James William's immediate family; however, several of his relatives, including Mack McDaniel, Mack's daughter Lucy who married Jeremiah Osborn, and Mack's son, Benjamin who married Ann Fee went to Clark Co OH about 1813. Benjamin eventually went to Miami County. When he died, he left a son named George, and there I lose his family. My point is that while my immediate family went to IN then IL, there were relatives who were in or went to OH. Problem is that plenty of Kentucky King families also went the same route. We would have to find a common thread, and so far, I haven't found it. Copied your info to study. If you recognize any surnames, let me know. I have relatives and in-laws from this period named McDaniel, King, Sellers, Daley, Eaton, Bryan (fr. KY) and Ulrey, Lucas, Pope, Lee out of OH. Maybe there's a common thread. SHERRY
