To all my fellow KING researchers. Several of us in the family have been trying to determine the father of our Seth KING. Most evidence is that Jonathan KING (24 Feb 1742-17 Jul 1804) is the father, but this is not definitive. 1. Jonathan KING, b. 24 Feb 1742, d. 17 Jul 1804 in Barkhamsted, CT; m. Bethia AUSTIN (17 Mar 17444-20 Jun 1826) in Suffield, CT 22 Sep 1762. 2. Seth KING, b. 23 Oct 1779 in CT, d. 16 Sep 1855 in Troy, Oakland Co., MI; m.
