David Victor King
David Victor King, who was born in 1945, was adopted in 1945 by Nellie Ruth Pillsbury (died in 1973 at the age of 59) and Donald King, a former captain in the Merchant Marines. He had one younger brother, Stephen Edwin King, the author. He also had a sister, Elaine Schneider. Because Nellie and Donald had been told that they couldn't have children, they adopted David. Then Nellie became pregnant with Stephen, who was - obviously - a surprise, in 1947. Two years after Stephen was born, and when David was around 4, Donald left the family, never to be seen again. David grew up with a single mother. David King married Linda Hovey and they had children Karen and Katherine. He later became a tax collector in Milton, New Hampshire and a tax assessor in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Towards the end of his life, he owned and operated Safety First Driving School. See David Victor King: Obituary. Note: Records differ on David's exact date of birth. His obituary states that he was born on September 14, 1945. Other records give his date of birth as October 23, 1945. The first may be his actual date of birth and the second may be the date of his adoption by the King family.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
