I've been seraching for my GRT-GRT-GRT Grandmother Sarah HAMMER. In some records she has been listed as Sarah HAMMER GARNER, or Sarah GARNER, even Sarah HAMMER GARNER McCLELLAN. Here is what we know for sure:
My GRT-GRT-GRT Grandparents were William KING & Sarah HAMMER GARNER.
My GRT-GRT Grandparents were the Rev. David KING & Susan FLETCHER.
My GRT Grandparents were Willy (William Fletcher) KING & Martha Elizabeth LAWS (daughter of Salem LAWS & Mary EUBANKS).
My GRT-GRT Grandparents were the Rev. David KING & Susan FLETCHER.
My GRT Grandparents were Willy (William Fletcher) KING & Martha Elizabeth LAWS (daughter of Salem LAWS & Mary EUBANKS).
My lines came from Virginia to Claiborne County Tennessee in the early 1800s, and
stayed in New Tazewell.

William and Sarah King are both buried in Coleman Cemetery, Claiborne County, Tennessee, one-half mile west of the Hancock County line. I have cousins living in the area who have visited the site.
We do know our Kings are said to have come to the New World (Virginia)in the early 1600's - possibly in the Second Virginia Charter or later -1620's to 1640's. We have always been told there were two King brothers who came to Virginia because they could not pay their debts in Scotland or England. They worked for 7 years to pay off their debts and married
Indian women. Would love to find history of William & Sarah to go further back.
