Biography

N.B. I am removing Sarah King as the daughter of William B King and Elizabeth (Sharp) King as said Sarah King was born (in 1782) in Cowden, Kent, England, (wife of John Barnett), married (1 Dec 1806) in Cowden Kent England, and died (about 1851) in Kent, England, whereas her purported parents were born in Pennsylvania and died in western Virginia. I think someone got her confused with the Sarah “Sallie” King, who was born in 1781, no place shown, no spouse shown, no death info shown, who was William and Elizabeth’s daughter.
