General Notes: Husband - Mathias King

---

The Kings are of German origin, the name in old records being König, and in the Pennsylvania Archives it appears as Koenig.

He was a native of Germany, came to America in the year 1751 in the ship "Janet," two brothers accompanying him to this country, Abraham and Jacob. Settling in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, near Nazareth, in the section known as "Drylands," he obtained a grant of lands from the Penns, and lived there for many years. During the Revolution he served the Colonial cause as a corporal in Capt. George Nolf's company. He was a member of the Reformed Church at Hecktown, Northampton County. Along about 1791 he emigrated with his family to Westmoreland County, settling in Mount Pleasant township, where he died. [HAC 1914, 400]

The family came to Westmoreland County and settled near Greensburg, in what was called Harrold's German settlement in Hemphill township. [HAC 1914, 882]
