Several of us here in Rockingham and Guilford counties, NC, are researching the KING line as descended from Thomas King and his wife Sarah. The lines here descend thru his sons William and Henry. Two other sons, John and Nehemiah, went to Georgia in the 1830s. It is possible that he had two brothers who came into the area (then Rowan County) about 1780s at the same time or before he came with his family. If you have any information on any of the descendants, please contact me. We will be glad to share everything we have discovered. Among the items recently added to our collection is a photograph of Thomas' gravestone which gives his age at death pushing back the previously thought date. Mapping of the several King cemeteries is taking place. We do have a list of many of the people in these private cemeteries. The predominate question is: where did Thomas originate? The supposed origin in Somerset County, Maryland, has been disproved; however, there are many more Thomas Kings in Maryland and Virginia who may be our Thomas. Another question is that of the listing of Thomas King, Jr. in the DAR records who is noted as serving as a substitute for his father and who was born in Granville County, NC, in 1762., living later in the 96th District, SC at the time of his enlistment and later in GA, dying there in 1833. Is it possible that this Thomas Jr. is the son of our Thomas? Joyce Hibberts joywhaler@triad.rr.com 1812 Starlight Drive, Greensboro, NC 27407 336-547-0755
