Ann King
1751 - 1820
|
Ann King was born about 1751 in Louisa County, Virginia and died about 1820 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Dates for birth and death are estimated. She lived to be about 69 years old.
Married 12/25/1769 in Edgecombe Co. NC.She had three children with husband Thomas: Joseph, Ann and Elizabeth.
Parents may have been Henry King, Jr. (died 1751) and Ann (died 1795) from Edgecombe Co. NC. Her father's Last Will and Testament in 1751 names Cattren, Ann and Prudence as daughters and wife, Ann.
Louisa County Virginia was established in 1742, less than 10 years after her birth, when the population grew large enough to support a courthouse and separate from Hanover County.
Her family moves to Bertie County, North Carolina while she is a small child. They apparently move into the southwestern corner of this county which later, in 1732, separates and becomes Edgecombe County, NC.
Her father writes a will around the time of her birth (and before her brother's birth) and dies within the next few years. When Ann is six years old, she and her brother and sisters are declared orphans and placed under the guardianship of Henry Gibson. The year after Ann is married, guardianship of her younger brother is transferred to William Virgin.
Land in the Spartanburg County, South Carolina area becomes available after the 1755 treaty taking the "Up-Country" from the Cherokee Indians. Ann and her husband may have been early settlers of the "Up Country" lands. By 1785, when Ann is in her early 30's, Spartanburg is officially established as a county and is a prospering community. |
