    3. Dr. Andrew King was the son of Rev. Andrew King of Wallkill, NY and grandson of Richard King of Dublin, NJ and NC. Andrew married first Eliza Morrison and had two children: Ruth Snowden and William Lott King After Eliza died, he married the Mary Jones Hornbeck, daughter of Dr. Henry Isaac Hornbeck and Phoebe Jones of Montgomery, Orange NY. They had seven children, four surviving. Leaving his wife with her four children and two step children, he took off with perhaps a serving girl, Catherine ?Horn and fled south. While on his way to TN, he stopped in PA where he had another child, Julia. We do not know whether he was ever divorced as those particular records were destroyed in a water leak in the county building. Catherine committed suicide in 1864 and Andrew died in 1867. The puzzle is that there is yet another wife named in his will, Ellen and another child, Joan (Jone). I am searching for records of these marriages (if they really did occur) and what happened to both Julia Ann King and Joan. The last I know of Julia (I think it was her that was mentioned in the 1870 KY census is that she was a nursemaid in a house and one Ellen King was living in the same district with another man.) All of this for the son of a Presbyterian minister! Any information on the whereabouts of Julia and Joan is of great interest to me. Sue
