Seeking any information on a KING family who immigrated to Fayette Co. from Quebec abt. 1857.
THOMAS KING was born 18 Apr 1813 in Old Monkland, Lanark, SCT, (s/o Wm King/Ann Erskine) and died (I THINK) 23 Nov 1877 in Fayette Co. IA. (There is a 'last will and testiment' posted on the Fayette Board which I believe is his) He married BARBARA ROSS 15 Dec 1837 in Hinchinbrook, Huntingdon Co. Quebec CAN. She was born Abt. 1816 in SCT, and died (possibly Nov 13 1885) in Fayette Co. IA.
Barbara is listed in the 1880 Census, Scott Twp; Fayette Co. IA; (age 64) with son George. There is also a Cemetery Record which is likely her: Barbara King d.13 Nov 1885; Arlington Cemetery; Fairfield IA
Their KNOWN Children were:
ANN KING, b. 19 Apr 1844, Huntington Co. Quebec, Canada.(If the will is her father’s, she’s listed as Anna Anderson) &
GEORGE KING, b. Abt. 21 Mar 1857, Huntington Co. Quebec, Canada; d. 28 Mar 1927, Oelwein, Fayette Co. Iowa.
(The Will lists 5 other children: THOMAS; JOAN; JOHN; JAMES; & WILLIAM (But again, I’m not positive if this is his will)
At any rate, I DO know that George settled there, and married a Georgina. I have found them and their children, JOHN G., ANDREW & ERNEST in the censuses from 1880-1930.
John G. married a 'Gertrude'; Andrew married an 'Emma'.
I would appreciate ANY information on this family, and would love to know if there are still KINGs from this line living in the area.
Thanks so much,
Judy King
