Hi Jo and All, I have no information on your query, but I do have KING family (my own brick wall) in Franklin and Lincoln co. TN in the early 1800's.

Tranquilla KING b. 1831 in TN m.1850 Peter McCAIN in Guntersville, Marshall , AL d. Ellis Co. TX. (Their first son was named Rufus...) I'd greatly appreciate ANY help! Regards, Karen Trouvat KTrouvat@aol.com My ancestor, Tranqilla KING, was the daughter of Mazie HAWS (Hawes) and Amazon KING living in Tennessee. Mazie's sister, Eveline S. HAWS, married Henry A. GARVIN (living TN - AL) and had many children, few of whom survived to maturity (have info.). Tranquilla and her younger sister Evalina, were living with Eveline S. and Henry Garvin at the 1850 Census of Marshall Co AL. As far as I know both of these HAWS girls were married in TN and were born in NC
