General Notes: Husband - Col. John King


When quite young he went to reside with his mother's brother, who emi-grated to Warren, Pennsylvania, taking John with him. He became prominently identified with his adopted home, becoming interested in the lumber business, was proprietor of a tavern for some time, carried mail on horseback, and was elected to the office of sheriff of the county, on the Democratic ticket. During the war of 1812 he served as captain of a company stationed at Erie, Pennsylvania, and was after-wards promoted to the rank of colonel, which title he ever afterwards bore. [GPHAV, 906]

He died Octo-ber 27, 1842. [GPHAV, 906]

General Notes: Wife - Betsey Gilson


She was the daughter and grand­daughter of revolutionary patriots, and a de­scendant of John Whitney, of Watertown, Massachusetts, whose lineage has been traced through the Lancastrian kings of England to the early French monarchs.
