My Kings were from right there in Sumner County, around Gallatin, I believe. I know Robert King had a place on Snow Creek. I'm not sure if it was Sumner County in 1790, when they moved from NC, or Iredell County. I even have a map somewhere in my prodigious files that show where his residence was located. Robert KING died in 1806 at Snow Creek, Iredell County. His wife was Mary Morrison, who died in Sumner County in 1817 and is buried near Gallatin. Their children were: Margaret (m. Thomas Donnell); Mary (m.James Pharr); Richard (m. Rachel Blythe); Samuel (m. Anna Dixon); Anna (m. William McGehee); Rebecca (m. John Bell); Elizabeth (m. ? Pendergrast/ph?); William (m. Mary Priscilla Hassell); Rhoda King (m. John Baker Pendergrast); and Davis (m. Sally Joiner). I'm trying to find out if Richard King who married Nancy Daley in 1829 is the son of Richard King and Rachel Blythe. That's my brick wall right now. Thanks for any help.
