a half miles on one side and three miles on the other. He had previously located as blacksmith in the little village of Deposit ten miles further south but a flood drove them to the hill country. On this farm his large family grew to manhood and womanhood. His son Addison King and wife Sylva Jane (Andrews) succeeded him, raising their three sons and four daughters on the same farm and today (1907) Andrew Henry King, one of the sons of Addison King, occupies the old home with his wife and two little sons. The place is called "Kings Hill." ISSUE: 521* i. 522* 7 AMANDA, b. June 18, 1815; d. June, 1891; m. Alexander Wildey. ii. SYLVIA, b. April 8, 1817; m. Dec. 27, 1837, Wilder Fuller. 523 iii.

JOHN KING (Joel, Benjamin, Benjamin, James, William1), born in Enfield, Conn., Dec. 23, 1789; died in Enfield Aug. 19, 1852; married (1) in Enfield Nov. 10, 1811, Alice Button, daughter of Jonathan and Alice (Parsons) Button, born March 20, 1794, died March 3, 1843; (2) March 20, 1844, Roxalany (Thompson) Chapin, widow, born Jany. 3, 1807; died March 12, 1878. Capt. King lived in the small village of Scitico, in the town of Enfield, where he carried on a prosperous plow manufacturing business for many years with trade largely in the Southern States. He also had a forge business and owned the tavern in the village. Scitico had no postoffice until the needs of his business required the establishment of one there in 1841 and Capt. King was appointed the postmaster. It is an interesting fact that the office of postmaster in this village has ever since then been held by some member of the family continuously until in 1906 the chain of succession was broken by death. His widow, Mrs. Roxalany King, married James L. Prosser, a wealthy and benevolent citizen of West Hartford, Conn. The children of Capt. King were born in the town of Enfield. ISSUE: 534* i.

He had one child by the first and nine children by the second marriage all of whom were born in Ellington, Conn., except the three youngest who were born at Kingsville, Ohio. Mr. King went to Ohio in 1832 and settled where Kingsville now stands. He was a blacksmith by trade, but before leaving Connecticut he was extensively engaged in the manufacture of plows which he sold in Norfolk, Va. After going to Ohio he became a farmer and struggled hard to accumulate a competence in the first years of his life there, but when the Lake Shore Railroad came to that part of the country he sold one half of his land and invested the proceeds in that railroad enterprise. It was a most fortunate speculation and money came to him easily thereafter so that before his death he was in excellent financial circumstances. He was ever an honest, conscientious and philanthropic man. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, but his wife Esther Ward King and her children belonged to the Baptist Church and he often accompanied them there. ISSUE: 548* i. 549 ii. JEROME EATON, b.
