Let me tell you a tell about me, my maiden name was King. I have been
researching my family for more than 25 years. I still stuck where I began all
those years ago. On William S. King born 1832 in Estill County KY, married 1855
to Sarah Bradley in Clarke Co KY. Sadly I have never been able to find 18 year
old William in any census in 1850. I have a death certificate that says father
Steve King and mother Mary Lilly, (death certificate can have errors). I have
researched both Jacob and Jeremiah families also from Estill county looking for
a connection. There is no paper trail for my William before 1850. I do
believe that he had a brother Stephen Francis King born 1827 that married
Elizabeth Potts, family legend says that there was a brother James. Find my work
at

Then came Y-DNA, you can find about by testing male with the same surname if
they are closely related. Thomas King who has line to Jeremiah did one, I got
my father to do a Y-DNA. We do not match (12 marker test, with only a 9 marker
match), so I am not closely related to Jeremiah King's line. That leaves Jacob
line to be test. I need to find a descendant with King surname that is willing
to be tested. This will also prove wither Jeremiah and Jacob lines are
connected and whither my line is connected to either of them. Also in works is
a test submitted by
Aleita King Huguenin's brother ( Jeremiah's line again)
Does anyone know a male descendant with the KING surname that would be
interesting in this test?
