might suggest if you don't find their marriage in Marion County , you might try Ringold Ga or Rossville , Ga. -- May have those spellings wrong. They both were very popular for quick weddings though Betty

Linda Sue- I don't know about the "migration" per se, but I know there was a train that ran thru Marion Co., and probably they just got on it to go to different mines when they were looking for work. I know that my g-grandfather, THOMAS EDWARD "ED" KING (1878-1914), died in a mine explosion in Mulga, Jefferson Co., ALA in 1914, and he had been born (and I believe working in the mines) in Whitwell, Marion Co., TN. However, the Sequatchie Valley Newspaper in Whitwell continued to post articles about "Ed" King and his "doings" in Mulga, ALA. Below are some articles that appeared in the Sequatchie Valley Newspaper in 1912: April 4, 1912: Sequatchie Valley Newspaper: "Mulga, Alabama": "Ed King said he thought if the Democrats of Marion Co. would do their duty that Ben Havron would sure be sheriff, and he wishes he was there so he could vote for him, and if there is any republican that wants something to be proud of when he comes to die, let him cast his vote for Ben Havron." "Ed King said they had the longest hogs in Mulga he ever saw. He said he had been here four months and has eaten middlings ever since he has been here, and never has reached the shoulder yet." Rambling Sam. "March 28, 1912: Sequatchie Valley Newspaper: "Mulga, Alabama": "Ed King is still working day and night. Work is good at Mulga. If anyone wants plenty of work and good pay, just come to Mulga. Oh yes, "Sagetown Guy," Ed sure has got his wax back. You just ought to see him chew." My g-grandfather, THOMAS EDWARD "ED" KING, s/o John E. King & Nancy Mitchell (?) died on October 5, 1914 as a result of injuries suffered in a mine explosion in Mulga ALA. There is a picture that appeared in the Birmingham, ALA newspaper that accompanies the following article (Need to get a copy of that picture again): "Sixteen Dead in Mine Explosion" "Ed King, of Whitwell, Victim of Explosion at Mulga, Ala. Monday" "Birmingham, Ala. October 5 (1914).-- "Sixteen men are known to be dead and twelve injured as the result of a pocket gas explosion at the Mulga mines of the Woodward Iron company, near Ensley, this morning. Removal of the bodies is proceeding tonight, only nine of the sixteen dead having been brought out p to eight o'clock. "Mine officials state the explosion as purely local and was caused by striking a pocket of gas. What ignited the gas has not been determined. The mine itself was not seriously damaged. Mulga mines had a previous explosion April 20, 1910, when thirty-five were killed. "Three of the dead have been identified: Ike Calsoki, Ed King and Charles Campbell, white miners. "Mr. King was formerly of Whitwell." The conditions that these miners had to endure is beyond my understanding. My g-grandfather's brother, LONNIE KING (1871-1956), received a medal in 1927 in Whitwell, TN from the Tennessee Coal & Iron Railway Co. (which we're still looking for) for 42 years of service and lived to be in this 80s--he must have had lungs of steel. Last but not least, my g-grandfather's sister, ALICE KING, married a JAMES KILGORE in 1883 and I've been looking for descendants and/or information on this family for 20 years. If you are by any chance related to this line of KILGORES, I would love to share pictures and/or information. Hope this long "essay" helps. Cheryl Cook Singleton San Diego, CA
