King researchers: With all the talk about William Kings - I'll add mine to the list: William KING -- He moved from Scott County, Virginia to Tennessee in the late 1820s, and was living in Claiborne County, Tennessee by 1830, and by 1850, the census report lists his birth in DELAWARE in 1779. We know the date he was born from his tombstone: July 10, 1779. He died September 27, 1865, and is buried in the Coleman Cemetery in Claiborne County, TN. There are many KING lines in Delaware in the 1700s, but I can't get a link to any of them. I hope his children's names might give a clue -- Elias, Rosa Ozina, Elkanah (Elcana, Cana), Hiram, Margaret (Jennie), Elihu, David, Emily, Lucinda, John, and Amy. Notice the first-born son's name: ELIAS KING. There were several Elias Kings in New Castle, Delaware in the 1700s. Could one of these be my William's father or grandfather - naming his first-born son after one? Also, the names Elkanah and Elihu are unusual - maybe a clue to my line? Thanks!

Hi Nancy, I am changing the subject line from "Subscribe" so folks don't hit delete before they read the messages! We talked a few months ago about the Lee Co. VA Kings and the name Elcanah. Robert King b1834 of Yancey Co. NC who I believe is father of James Wiley King b1856 Buncombe or Cherokee Co. NC (my grandfather) was said to have had Elcanah as a middle name. We were told that Elcanah, a Biblical name, was also found among the Lee Co. VA Kings. Were you ever able to check out the Ancestry database I told you about? Rita Tanner

I would suggest that you might be looking for a Melongeon family. Claiborne Co. TN was known as a Melongeon county and the names you mention sound like they could have that heritage.
