    1. Re: [PAHUNTIN] George King~Shirley Township
    2. Jamie, I have a copy of George King's Will. (Will Book 3 page 418) Date of Will: August 5, 1833. Letters of Administration granted Oct. 19, 1833. I also have a copy of his land purchase. I have spelled words as they appear from the documents mentioned. The Will does mention George's wife. "Should Mary not want to live in the house with any (underlined) of her children, and was or will be her desire to have a house build on either part of my place. It shall be done at the joint and equal expense of my legal heirs that are in possession of my landit property. " Beloved wife, Mary King and James King were the Executors of the Will. I have not looked at the Estate Records at the Court House for further information. Checking the land Deeds of those who inherited George King's properties may provide a closer date if we see any of the properties were sold. All the children's names are listed. He divided his property, giving six children 45 acres, more or less. Those children were: William King, Charles King, James King, Elizabeth King Newell, Hanah King Swope, Sarrah King More. Four sons: "John King, George King, Patrick King and Hugh King were given $1.00 in hand emedially after his decease as their proper legree by his daughter Hananh Swope. I sent you the photo I had of Patrick King's 7 sons. I know George King's son Hugh King had children who located to that OHIO County. I found that information from reading Hugh King's orphan's Court Documents. Be happy to scan and send anything you'd like to see. If anyone else is researching the King family of Shirley Township, I have a question: James King was the first person buried at Mount Nebo UB Church in 1853. The tombstone states; "James King , Esquire". I do find him listed as a Justice of the Peace on the 1850 Shirley Township census. I don't find him listed in the Huntingdon County Bar. Was he possibly just using the title "Esquire"? and not actually an attorney? I found an announcement of his marriage. I don't believe he had children. Anyone? Does anyone have any information about Newton King? I see him raised in Blair County in the home of George King on the census. He is however the son of Margaret King Miller, born before her marriage. I have confirmed that relationship from OC Documents. I have photos of Newton King. Teresa Shade Anderson
