Cathy, Could you tell me about the father of your John King(born 1813). I am seaching for a John King. (OH, there are so many). John King born about 1790 in VA. Married Elizabeth McKinneyborn About 1790 in Staunton, VA and daughter of Alexander and Esther Walker Campbell McKinney) on 4 APR 1811 in St. Charles, MO. 1817 Census of Femme Osage Twp., St. Charles, MO. 1817 Tax List, Montgomery Co., MO. 1819 tax list in Montgomery Co., MO, proof-MO Territory, MO Pioneers, Volume 8. Then 1830, Charrette, Montgomery Co., MO living with his son John C King. 1840 Census, Charrette, Warren Co., MO with his son John C King. What I'm trying to do is locate John King in Kentucky then back to VA. He came to Missouri with the McKinney family per John McKinney's Biography in Lexington, KY. The McKinney family traveled with the Boone and Morgan families from VA to KY then on to MO. So, John King should be in one of these places. John King also had a son called Harrison King born 14 OCT 1812 in St. Charles, MO. This is my direct line. I'm hoping that your John & mine seem to match, or you might recognise some of the names?!!! Looking forward to your reply. Theresa Baxter nee King
