Posted on: Amherst County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst/10826 Surname: King ------------------------- My husband is descended through Zachariah. I've traced him to Virginia and have an educated guess that his father was named Jacob but don't know for sure. I have a Jacob King in the 1783 Amherst Co census. Not in 1785. Have you gotten any further. Don't know Jacob's wifes name. Have Zachariah, Major & Jesse as brothers. Any help would be appreciated. Donna
