I am looking for information on Wilson and Phebe King who lived there to raise their family in Belmont in about 1840 - 1890. Their obituaries mention that they were early pioneers, so maybe they would be mentioned. All their 5 daughters left to go to Colorado in the 1880's, followed by the parents. Is there any mention of these people in any histories?
