a#HENDERSONHENDERSONa#KINGKING posted by Bobby KIng on Thursday, October 9, 1997

Looking for parents and siblings of Ephraim KING who appears in the 1810 Onslow Co., NC census. Ephraim KING was b. 1781 and served in War of 1812 in Onslow Co., NC acording to his land grant records in Dale/Coffee Co., AL. Ephraim witnessed a land sale in Onslow in 1808 where a William KING sold land on Gum Branch to a Soloman HENDERSON. Ephraim was married to Sarah ??? B. 1793? and had the following known children, Henry, Olive, Harriet William. It is believe that Ephraim moved to Burke Co., Ga by 1820. There are many Surnames in Burke Co., Ga that are simliar to Onslow so I believe that many of these families moved together. Would appreciate hearing from fellow King researchers and others who have tracked their kin to Burke and Jefferson Co., ga an Alabama. Thanks .
