Hi Folks, It's been over a year since I've posted to this list, so... I recently obtained the death record of my great great grandfather, Francis King (b. 1830 d. 1897). It confirms that he was the son of Charles H. King and Mary Ann Kittle or Kettle. Mary Ann Kittle was the daughter of Job Kittle and Jerusha Ayers according to many online databases, although I'm looking for confirmation of this. Charles H. King was the son of John King who brought his family from England to Monmouth County in the mid eighteen twenties. I believe they were among the founders of Wall Township. The online database have it that Charles King's mother was Sophia Horsley, but I believe her last name was Johnson.and Charles's middle name was Henry, not Horsley. The databases also show that the King family came from Shoreditch or Clerkenwell, but I've been able to trace this family to Little Braxted, Essex, England. My own file concerning this King family is on RootsWeb's WorldConnect; name: mbc157588. The link is _http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=mbc157588&I11.x=0&I11.y=0_ (http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=mbc157588&I11.x=0&I11.y=0) I'd be happy to hear from anyone doing research on this family. Thanks, John F

Rooters, I might as well list my gggf William KING to add to the confusion. Born Armagh, Armagh, NIR 29 Sep 1771, immigrated via Baltimore Jul 1774 with father Francis, mother Isabella McCullough and younger sister Esther. He moved to Georgetown in 1795 as a cabinet maker, married twice, had 16 children and died in Washington, DC (Georgetown) 7 Jul 1854. Mac

Hi Mac, I wonder if we connect? My KING ancestry ('recently' discovered by me a year ago thanks to someone providing me records from Holy Trinity Catholic Church at Georgetown Univ.) is in the Georgetown area. One of my 3g-grandfathers on my maternal side is John POORE. He married Sarah BOOTH (I had the given name, Sarah, from census records but not her maiden surname until I received the church records, either). Then, Sarah's parents were listed in the marriage register as Edward BOOTH and Mary KING. Sarah was born about 1820 (from census records) and she married John POORE on 10 Feb 1836. Sarah's father, Edward BOOTH, was shown as deceased on the marriage record, so Mary King Booth was a widow by 1836. The following is from a register of parish records now kept at the Georgetown University Library: "P. 41, 10 Feb 1836, John POORE, son of the late Francis POORE and Mary WITSELL (possibly WHITSELL) and Sarah BOOTH, dau of the late Edward BOOTH and Mary KING. Witnesses William HOMILLER, Henry KENGLA, Lewis KENGLA, Jacob KENGLA, and Teresa DUVAL" Do you perhaps have an idea how my Mary KING may connect to your William King who was in Georgetown by 1795?
