King David was my gggggrandfather. Cool fellow. His grave is clearly marked and there is a road (a little one) named after him near Fogertown, Clay County, Ky. He was NOT an Indian, nor did he have Indian blood. I've got some interesting information about him. If I recall accurately (it's been awhile since I've read up on him) his brother married an Indian woman, the mother of the famous Cherokee, Sequoya (sp). See Don Chestnuts Genealogy Page at www.donchesnut.com for great info about King David!

I just found out about my Benge connection about a year ago and would be interested in any info that you might have on the Benges or Bowlings.

My grandmother was Margarett Brown, her mother was Loada Robinson. Her father was John B Robinson whos father was Benjamin Robinson whose mother was Martha Patsy Benge whose father was John David "Jackie" Benge whose parents were "King" David Benge and mother Lucretia Perry. I believe this makes him my 7th Great Grandfather.
