Audrey, I have two KING's and one WARD who married into my RUNNELS line. Benajah and John Jackson married sisters Julia Ann and Mary; Siby WARD married Calhoun T, all children of David and Mary (LYLES) RUNNELS. Perhaps these families made their way together during the NC/SC/GA areas transit. It might help me to locate David's parents origin (a far stretch, I know, but at this point I will grasp at any straw). Jim
