Here is my problem, known facts not adding up. My King line settle in Greene CO, IL 1821. Alexander King was born 21 Nov 1787 in Mecklenburg CO, NC. He married Nancy Gordon 29 May 1810 in Tennessee. He died 12 July 1872 Greene County, IL and Nancy 20 Nov 1874 Greene County. Children of ALEXANDER KING and NANCY GORDON are: i. SAMUEL P.4 KING, b. 12 November 1812, Tennessee; d. Bef. August 1868, Greene County, Illinois. ii. JOHN KING, b. 17 January 1814, Sheelby County, Tennessee; d. 16 February 1873, Kane Township, Greene County, Illinois. iii. JAMES GORDON KING, b. 1816, Crawford County, Indiana; d. Bef. 1860, Greene County, Illinois. iv. ALEXANDER KING, b. 18 January 1820, <Crawford County> Indiana; d. 25 May 1896, Roodhouse, Greene CO, Illionois. v. CATHARINE J. KING, b. 10 May 1822, Greene County, Illinois. vi. ESTER ANN KING, b. 10 May 1822, Greene County, Illinois; d. 15 July 1902, Collin County, Texas. vii. THOMAS GARNER KING, b. 28 October 1825, Linder Township, Greene County, Illinois; d. 07 February 1881, Linder Township, Greene County, Illinois. viii. WILLIAM RICHMOND KING, b. 28 October 1825, Linder Township, Greene County, Illinois; d. 28 June 1914, Linder Township, Greene County, Illinois. From here to present pretty good source and ducumentation. Alexander's (1787-1872) father per SAR, is Alexander King born 07Dec 1754 arrived in the Colonies 1770 married Nancy Jackson <1782> enlisted 10 Jan 1776 Chester CO, PA discharged 1781. Their first two known children were born in PA, the others in Mecklenburg CO, NC. Alexander 1754-1826 applied for and recieved his pension in Huntingdon PA were he died 1826. IF the SAR is right he had a twin brother Hugh King who enlisted in Mecklenburg CO, NC. Hugh's desendants show in family records " Alexander died shortly after the Rev War and never married" The SAR records have no sources or docmentation just memberships were approved about 1920. I can not find any proof one way or the other. Just coindences like a high rate of twins in both Hugh's line and Alexander's line. Both lines seemed to be fairly educated (lawyers and doctors) Hugh was in Giles & Maury CO TN early 1800 to 1845 and Alexander's sister was married in Giles County, TN. Both Alexander 1754-1826 and Hugh 1754-1849, imigrated 1770. Questions family imigrated part went to Chester CO, PA and part to Mecklenburg CO, NC. Alexander 1754-1826 moved to Mecklenburg CO, NC and back to PA. Kent
