I found this on a Jefferson County, Mississippi page. Maybe it will help some on the Thomas King line. Let us know if it does. This information does not pertain to my line of David King who said he was born in 1754 in Scotland and came to this country right before the Revolutionary War. At least, it doesn't as far as I can tell. My David was in South Carolina during the Rev. War until his capture and parole and after that serving in North Carolina. I don't have a record of his marriage but he lived first in S.C. and then in Washington County, GA. for fourteen years before location to the Franklin/Jefferson County are of Mississippi in 1808. If anyone recognizes him, let me know. Now, to the "found info". This information seems to be a synopsis of what is in the will. It recounts mostly names.
