Rita, I'm sure there were lots of Robert King's, but I do know there was a Robert King in Moore Co., North Carolina in the 1820 and I think 1830 census records. From your dates this Robert might be too old to be your Robert. I really don't know if Moore Co. is close to Buncombe or Cherokee. Just a little tidbit that might help, I hope.

Hello Judy, Thanks so much for your kind suggestion! Moore Co. is in central NC and Buncombe is in the western corner bordering TN and GA. I have very few records of Robert Kings in western NC who were the right age to be my ggrandfather. I am wondering if he may have come from another area of the state. He was to have been born in VA so that is very possible. Thanks again and good luck in your search!
