Hi Folks: Oral family history tells me that my early KING family line migrated from VA to NC (near Wilmington, NC, then on to Lincolnton, NC, and during the early 1800's, to south central TN in LINCOLN, COUNTY. I have fairly well documented subsequent generations, but haven't been able to document their actions or locations prior to their move to TN. Any help you can offer on their earlier activities will be much appreciated. The oldest ancestor that I have been able to document was named Ephraim KING. He was most likely born in NC around 1785. Later, around 1804, he was apparently married a lady named Jane HARKINS in SC; but I haven't found any documentation to support that action. Ephraim and Jane's first child, that I have a record on, was named James G. KING. He who was born in 1808, perhaps in NC; he married Nancy SORRELS about 1833. Ephraim and Jane's second child by my records, was Andrew Jackson KING (who was my great-grandfather). He was born in 1813 in NC (based on census data). In 1839 he married a lady named Isabella Emmaline (Eliza) MITCHELL. Other children of Ephraim and Jane (Harkins) KING were apparently born in Lincoln Co. TN. Their names and their spouses are shown below: Martha G. KING who married Jessie NORMAN. Shadrack C. KING who married Mary D. Mc ADAMS. Susan C. KING who married John HOLLY. Eleanor M. (Nellie) KING who married William SORRELLS, Sr. Ephraim C. KING, (Civil. War Vet.) who married Sarah Jane BAGLEY. Washington A. KING who married Theodocia E. (Dosia BURROW. Over the years I have also collected data on the decedents of all of Ephraim and Jane's known children and I will share this information with related persons. Bye for now. Tom King, Sr. Near Leesburg, VA
