King Family Page I of37 King Family The information we have on the King family, is very little. We know the ancestor, Wesley Henry King, was born in Watertown, Jefferson County, New York in 1804. On the 1850 census report for Washington County Arkansas, he is listed as age 47. He married first Sarah/Sally Reed, daughter of William Reed. Wesley and the Reeds moved to Arkansas at some point in time where Sally and Wesley were married in 1827. They had five children, and she died about 1834. He married next Evaline Holt, who was 14 years old at the time of her marriage. They had thirteen children. I am attempting to unlock the family mysteries, such as who was Wesley's father? We believed he came to America from Scotland in the late 1700's, but more recent evidence indicates they were in Canada as early as the 1600's. The Kings and the Reeds continued to intermarry throughout the years, as you will see in this report. An interesting trait of the King men, in the line of Wesley Henry King, is their flaming red hair. Nearly every man born into this King family, has red hair.
