Hello Carter County Kin, My KING family was in Carter County (Ardmore) by 1914. A. Q. KING and Emma V. KING were my g-grandparents. They farmed when they first moved to Ardmore, but lost EVERYTHING in a tornado that swept through the area and by 1946 I found them living at 208 Moore SE in the City Directory. A. Q. was Albert Quitman - he died in 1947 and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. Emma died in 1958 and is buried next to Albert. I know that some of A. Q.'s brothers MUST have lived nearby - does anyone know any KINGS that were related? The boys were born in old Tishomingo Co, MS after 1850, their father was from Lincoln Co., TN. Emma King's first husband was a YOUNG - she was widowed with 3 children when she and Albert married about 1896. Some of her YOUNG children may have been with them in Ardmore - they were: Charles Young Ora Young Elbert Young We heard the boys moved to California - but cannot find their descendants. Emma and Albert's natural children were: Lela King - married to Gordon Brown Effie King - married to J. O. Holder Roger Quitman - married Rosa Elmore Ethel King - married to a Mr. Whitt If you know of any of these folks, I would be so glad to hear from you. There must have been other KINGS in Ardmore area who were kin to my g-grandfather, Albert Quitman King. Thank you for any information. Jo Ellan Hughes, Seattle
