GENEALOGICAL. The Kfng Family.

 publish a history of the Southern King family provided I secure sufficient CO., operation of King descendants. Much valuable and interesting material has been accumulated, embracing old Bible records, family history, genealogy. obituaries. court records and data from various publications.
 But much more Is needed. wish f1) traditions since traditions often serve to identify the branches to which they pertain; (2) dates and places of births, marriages and deaths of the early ancestors and their wives; (S) re- cords of all kinds, even seemingly unimportant details.
 A careful study of the King history shows that most of the southern branches descend from the Virginia family. A chart of that family is in my possession. Efforts VIII De maoe 10 connect many lines with 1t.
 The Bertie county, N. C., records are the most complete King records so far found. The lines of John H. King and of George Clark King extend to about 1730. John H. King was the father of my grandfather, Benajah King, who died in Dallas county. Alabama, in 1857. J. H. King moved from Bertie to Robertson county, Tenn. after 1877, and thence to Dallas county. Ala. where he died. He left three sets of children I desire to correspond with descendants of all of them. know nothing of the families of the follow ing children: CD Jack King; (2) Thomas King; (3) Nancy King. who married Glover. of Florence. Ala, moved to De Soto county. Miss.' and thence to California; (G Amelia King. who married Lynch. of Edgecombe county, N. C. Several chill dren went west to Texas and other States. One or two probably remained in North Carolina or Tennessee.

These are but a few of the many lines that I am trying to trace. The field offered for research is a rich one.
 The extent of research and the amount of printed matter will depend upon the number of subscriptions. The price of the volume cannot yet be determined, since 1t will be controlled by various considerations.
 Will not each King descendant 'co- operate with me in working up the most creditable and complete King his tory possible?
