Our King and Sydnor Families from Whence We Came

Résumé du livre

My father, James Thomas King, is a product of the King and Sydnor families in the Northern Neck of Virginia. This book contains biographies of family members, based on information passed down and as documented by historians. We can never know precisely the events surrounding various family members, but modern research provides insight to their stories. Information about our King and Sydnor families are fascinating, especially that of the Sydnor Family in England before they came to America. Chapter 1 reveals what we know about the Kings from early census records and Thomas S. and Eliza King's journey from Essex County to King George County. Chapters 2 through 5 cover their children and families, including my great-grandparents, James Bagby King and Annie Rollins King, and their siblings and children, people my relatives talked about and others my brothers and I remember affectionately. They were cousins, nieces, and nephews to the Kings, Rollins, and Sydnors. Chapter 6 covers the Rollins connection to our King Family and how the two families became my direct line; however, time dictates that I stick with my immediate line, ending with my parents and their children, as outlined on the Contents page. Hopefully, the framework of this book and the many references included will inspire future generations to add their stories.
