Biography

Anna Mead was born about 1763^[1] to Jeremiah and Abigail (Lockwood) Mead of Greenwich, Connecticut, and baptized on 21 July 1763 in St. John's Episcopal Church in Stamford.^[2] The family removed to the South Precinct of Dutchess County in Anna's youth.

Anna married Nathaniel King, son of Barzillai and Lydia (Hinkley) King,^[3] probably around 1781.

In 1790, the Nathaniel King household was adjacent to Barzillai King, Merrick King and John King in Frederickstown, the successor to their portion of the South Precinct.^[4]

Nathaniel purchased land in Ovid Township, Onondaga, New York, in 1796, where they settled and lived the majority of their lives. Ovid would shortly become part of Cayuga and then Seneca County by 1804.
