May I make a suggestion? You should include some dates, or approximate dates, for at least some of the people in your query. I found what looks like your family on the 1930 census, but they are all listed as Black. If that is true you should include that in your query, too. It really helps to narrow down the search.

1930 census DeWitt Co, TX:

King, Solomon, hd, 45, md @ 20 yrs of age, b TX, AL, MS
" Minnie, wf, 47, md @ 22 yrs of age, b TX, TX, TX
" Tessie, d, 19, b TX
" Zeuable or Zenable, d, 15, b TX
" John, s, 14, b TX
" Charlie, s, 6, b TX

Combined info from SSDI and TX Dth Idx online:

King, Charlie, b 10 May 1918; d 3 Jan 1992 Bexar Co, TX; last residence San Antonio, Bexar Co, TX; SS card issued in TX.

Solomon and Minnie with their children are on the 1920 census in DeWitt Co, TX.

1900 census DeWitt Co, TX:

King, John, h, b Jan 1837, 63, m 26 yrs, b AL, AL, AL

Looks like Sallie's maiden name might be Johnson.
