Hi Kelly Parks: When I read your message, which is copied below, I noticed the subject name. The reason being that one of my uncles was named Henry Sanford King, and he went by the name Sanford King. Over the years of researching my King family line, I have been unable connect the Sanford name to any other King or Harkins line; however, it has been used by other King lines; but I have yet to correspond with the users because of family health problems. Here are the generations of my King line that might possibly merge somewhere with your King line: My Great-Great Grandparents were Ephraim King (b. Abt 1785) and his wife was Jane Harkins. They migrated to Lincoln Co. TN from South Carolina around 1813; where they were apparently married. The other's mentioned below were born in Lincoln Co. TN; except my King/Chapman grandmother noted below, who was born in nearby Bedford Co. TN. My Great Grandparents were Andrew Jackson King (b. Abt. 1813) and his wife Isabelle Mitchell (b. Abt. 1822) and my King grandparents were Thomas Shadrack King (b. Abt 1852) and his wife Mary Aliena Chapman. My grandparents migrated to Madison Co. AL during the early 1900's and settled in Toney, AL, then to the Huntsville, AL area after a short time in Toney, then also for a short time in Birmingham, AL around 1910 and then back to Huntsville, AL for the remainder of their lives. Madison County, AL is also where I was born. Any possible connection? If so, will be pleased to trade genealogical information. Tom King, Sr. Leesburg, VA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Date: Mon, 04 Jul 2005 20:16:44 -0500 From: Kelly Parks <kellyparks@direcway.com> To: KING-L@rootsweb.com Message-id: <42C9DF7C.4040905@direcway.com> Subject: Stephen or Francis born 1780-1800 found in KY Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Does anyone know a Stephen or Francis King born around 1780-1800.
