Good Morning Carol: I would love to find out about my King history - and have re-posted my family information below. I hope there is someone out there who might have something about my William King. As far as we know, we don't have any King members in Georgia, as most of ours moved from Virginia to Eastern Tennessee. I'm looking forward to hearing from any of my King cousins who are related thru my William King and Sarah Garner. Thanks.....Nancy :-) .......................................................................
