William V. King and his Civil War Horse
William V. King is pictured with a horse and saddle he rode in the Civil War which were given to him when he mustered out of the Civil War.

William V. King, son of Lydon and Nancy Hughes King, natives of N. C. married Laura Morrison, native of Henderson Count, N. C. In 1841 William enlisted in the 3rd Brigade of Col. Stephen's division of the Civil War. He was in the battle Jaczwell, Tenn., Bakers Creek, Chickamauga, Resaca, New Hope and the siege of Atlanta. While on detached duty in 1864 he was taken prisoner and held during the rest of the war at Fort Delaware. He is my GGrandfather.

Any ties to Kings in Mid to Eastern Tennessee?
I had family in NC around the time he would have been born but my line gets fuzzy back then. I'd love to compare notes.

I am researching Shores, Turner, King, Keaton. I am a descedent of the Shores, Turner, Keaton, King families. Also Watkins, Shepherd, Stephens. The Stephens family member that I am researching for is Earnest Stephens born in the early 1900's. Mr. Stephens was related to Vina Stephens(Shadowens)>Gideon Stephens>Elisha Stephens. Could anyone tell me Earnests parents name and where they lived and were born. I have hit a brick wall on this one. On the Johnson line I am trying to find my GrGrandmother Louisa Johnson (Turner) line. I have finally torn one brick out of the wall and find her Grandparents : Garland W JOHNSON & Thirza Ann DEHAVEN PAYNE (Garland being born in Rockingham, Virginia)but at another Brick Wall.
