Byron Westley King (1858/9-1924) I have multiple sources of information on this gentleman, and they don't agree. So in a sense, this is a textbook case in secondary sources and why they should not be trusted! The following is posted at the ancestry.com message boards: The Daily Courier, p. 2, August 21, 1916 (note: I don't know what this is) KING REUNION WILL BE BIG ONE Byron W. King, Noted Elocutionist to be Guest of Honor The eighth annual reunion of the King family will be held at Shady Grove on Saturday, September 2, and from indications it will be the best ever held. Byron W. King, head of the King School of Elocution at Pittsburg, will be one of the guests of honor. There will be other features of interest. The ancestors of the King family emigrated to America in the year 1738, from the Alsacti-Lorraine (sic--no doubt meant to be Alsace-Lorraine) region in France. They were Huguenots and on account of religious persecution some of them went to Switzerland and others came to this country. The latter group settled in Montgomery county, Pa., where Samuel King and Hannah Missimer were married in 1792. Soon afterward they came west, locating in Somerset county and rearing the following large family: Eliza, married to John Cramer; Mary, married to Benjamin Cramer; Peggy, who was married to George Tedrow; Missimer (sic) who married Polly Rush; Cassimer, who married Peggy Philippi; Charles, who married Rebecca King; Samuel, who married Katie Ann Graft; Henry, who married Nancy Whipkey; David, who married Eliza Graft; Harriet, married to Joseph B. Critchfield, and Jeremiah, who married Rebecca Lenhart. The descendants have scattered throughout this section but all of them make an effort to return for the reunion. The officers are Nathaniel King, Owensdale, president; C. K. Brooks, Mill Run, vice president, and Mary B. McCormick, Chicago, secretary-treasurer. http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.somerset/10776/mb.ashx?pnt=1 I could not help but to patch up some of the more obvious copying errors in this, but the substance of it has not been changed. I am also skeptical that the family details contained in it are correct. So far as I can tell, there were two large families of Kings who came to Somerset Co. in the late 18th century. One (the family detailed above) settled in Milford Twp., and the other settled in Turkeyfoot Twp. I cannot find any connection between the two families, and it appears that Byron was descended from the Turkeyfoots. I could be wrong, and if anyone knows how these two families are connected, I'd be happy to be set right! In any event, David son of Samuel and Hannah (Messimer) King was surely not the same David who was father of Byron King. The following appears in A. G. Burgoyne (1892). All Sort of Pittsburgers. Sketched in Prose and Verse. Pittsburg, PA: The Leader All Sorts Co. Byron W. King Prof. Byron W, King, actor, teacher of elocution, interpreter of the Latin and Greek classics, lecturer, ventriloquist, and author, is perhaps the most versatile genius that claims the attention and appluase of the Pittsburg public. He was born at Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland county, June 10, 1859, and received a liberal education, the drift of his studies tending naturally in the direction of the refined literary pursuits which have of late years engrossed his attention. When the King School of Oratory was established, its founder was comparatively unknown in Pittsburg; but his talents, exhibited in a rapidly widening sphere, soon made him a public favorite, and his services on the platform, on the stage, and in the capacity of instructor, have since been in constant demand. He excels in the cultivation of dramatic powers, voice, gesture, pose, facial expression, and the faculty of intelligent interpretation being developed with equal facility under his direction. As an actor, Prof. King is equally at home in tragic and comic roles; as a lecturer he passes from grave to gay, from the depths of pathos to the height of grotesquesness, with the comprehensive skill of a master; as an elocutionist he runs the whole gamut of human emotions, and never fails to strike the chord he aims at so as to evoke a sympathetic response. Prof. King is a poet of no mean order, and he is also the author of a work on "Practice of Speech," which has become a standard elocutionary text-book. As noted in a number of Pittsburgh city directories, Byron W. King's School of Oratory was located at Virginia Ave. and Zara St., Mt. Oliver Station, Pittsburgh, Pa. It was founded in 1883 or 1884, depending upon which source you refer to. A Google search will reveal several other sources of information on the King School and on King's work as a public speaker and elocutionist. Two other biographies of Byron King also appear in materials available through the Historic (Digital) Pittsburgh Collection (link on home page of this site). Here is an excerpt of one from this source: Title: History of Allegheny county, Pennsylvania : including its early settlement and progress to the present time ; a description of its historic and interesting localities ; its cities, towns and villages; religious, educational, social and military history ; mining, manufacturing and commercial interests, improvements, resources, statistics, etc. ; also, biographies of many of its representative citizens. Publication Info: Chicago : A. Warner Co., 1889.: Collection: Historic Pittsburgh General Text Collection, page 537. Byron Westley King, professor of elocution, Pittsburgh, was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., a son of David Jacob and Mary Ann (Simpson) King. David King was son of John and Elizabeth (Hartzell) King, and John King was son of Moses and Sarah King. Mrs. Mary Ann King was daughter of William and Pheobe (Hutchinson) Simpson. ... Prof. King married, Nov. 29, 1883, Miss Inez E., daugher of Chester A. and Olive Todd, of Chautaugua county, N.Y., and they have one child, Olive May. Mrs. King is also highly educated in elocution and dramatic work; she is a member of the M.E. Church. Mr. King's borther, David Bennett King, now a prominent attorney of New York city, was sent to Ireland by the Philadelphia Press to write up the Irish question. He also wrote a book upon Ireland which was published by Scribner & Co.; also a series of articles published by the same house, and he was for seventeen years a professor of Lafayette College. Prof. B. W. King's book on elocution, "Practice of Speech," published in 1888, has received many favorable comments from the press, and has met with a rapid sale. The family details given in the first paragraph of this article are more likely to be correct than those given in the Daily Courier article. I am puzzled about the name of Byron King's grandmother, however. I have found three versions of her last name, Hartzell, Hartwell, and Noff. Noff is from a bio of another descendant of David King, John H. King, whose bio from Boucher's History of Westmoreland Co. appears on the Westmoreland page of this website. I am skeptical that Noff is correct, as there is no family of this name in the Somerset Co. censuses. There is a family of German origins (reportedly) by the name of Neff (also given as Nafe, Neef, and Neeff). In one source, grandpa John King's wife is said to be daughter of Michael Neff, who appears in the censuses but was not old enough to have a daughter who could marry John King. Could she have been a widow? Could her maiden name have been Hartzell? I have no idea! Circumstantial evidence does suggest a connection between the Neff family and another family named Hartzell. (Note: Nafe reflects an Americanization of how the German name Neff would be pronounced.) Another source gives the name of Elizabeth's father as Nicolas Neff. I can find no one in any Federal Census by this name. 1830 Federal Census of Turkeyfoot Twp., Somerset Co., PA (adjacent lines) Susan Hartzell 01-000001 (trailing zeroes omitted) Michel Neff 0200001-00000001 (trailing zeroes omitted) In 1790 there was a Michael Neff in the York Co., PA, census. In 1810 there is a Michael Neff in Franklin Co., PA. In 1820 there is a Michael Neff in Turkeyfoot Twp., Somerset Co., PA, max. age 44. Presumably, he is the same who appeared in 1830 when he was in his 40s, so born in the 1780s. He appears again in 1840, age consistent. By 1850 he was gone. It would be pressing it to suggest he could have had a daughter who was the mother of David King, b. 1820. Concerning the brother, David Bennett King, the following was found at: http://famousamericans.net/davidbennettking David Bennett King KING, David Bennett, lawyer, born near Mr. Pleasant (sic), Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, 20 June, 1848. He was graduated at Lafayette in 1871, and for the next three years was a tutor there. In 1874-'7 he was adjunct professor, and from 1877 till 1886 professor of Latin. Meanwhile he studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1883, and in 1886 opened an office in New York city. In 1881-'2 he wrote for the Philadelphia "Press" a series of letters from England and Ireland. He has contributed largely to periodicals, on topics of government and political economy, and has published in book-form "The Irish Question" (New York, 1882). Edited Appletons Encyclopedia, Copyright 2001 Virtualology(TM). A long biography of Byron King appears in: Biographical review; v. 24, containing life sketches of leading citizens of Pittsburg and the vicinity, Pennsylvania. Publication Info: Boston : Biographical review publishing co., 1897.: Collection: Historic Pittsburgh General Text Collection, pages 490-492. This bio states that King was "a grandson of John and Elizabeth (Hartzell) King," probably copied from the source above. This bio adds no family details to what is given previously and will not be reproduced here. To the censuses then. There was no Moses King in the 1790 census of PA. In 1800 the following named Kings appear in Turkeyfoot Twp., Somerset Co., PA. Christopher King Turkeyfoot Twp. 00001-00001-00 David King Turkeyfoot Twp. 00110-00010-00 John King Turkeyfoot Twp. 40010-00010-00 John A. King Turkeyfoot Twp. 11100-00100-00 Moses King Turkeyfoot Twp. 10010-21010-00 Thomas King Turkeyfoot Twp. 00110-10010-00 The fact that they are all listed on page no. 540 is not revealing, as the listing was alphabetized in the original. In 1810 the listing is (all adjacent on pages 422-423, but once again the listing is partially alphabetized): Christopher King Turkey Foot Twp. 00001-00001 David King Turkey Foot Twp. 40010-00010 David King Turkey Foot Twp. 00001-10010 Jesse King Turkey Foot Twp.

Turkeyfoot Twp. 01011101-0101011 King, Moses Turkeyfoot Twp. 00121001-00000001 King, David Turkeyfoot Twp. 001-1001001 King, Jacob Turkeyfoot Twp. 120011-120001 King, Christopher Turkeyfoot Twp. 100001-211001 King, Samuel Turkeyfoot Twp. 000001001-200001 King, Lemuel Turkeyfoot Twp. 111001-321001 King, John [taner] Turkeyfoot Twp. 00001001-00002001 (the following on handwritten pg. no. 18) King, Eni[s] Turkeyfoot Twp. 20011-1101 King, David of [tan] Turkeyfoot Twp. 00001-00001 King, Thomas Turkeyfoot Twp. 00101-011101 (also on this page is John Neff) There is still a Moses present in 1840 (two, in fact), athough too young to be the grandfather of David Jacob King. John King supposedly died before 1840, and David Jacob was supposedly in Westmoreland Co. by then. In 1800, Moses was in the age range 26-44, and judging from the 1810 census, closer to 26 appears correct. The earliest possible date for his birth would be 1766. In 1830 he was in his 50s, putting his birth sometime during the 1770s. Thus, he could have been old enough to have been the father of John. The John H. King bio (sub Westmoreland Co.) gives John three children, but there is no reason to believe this is correct. If one of the above listed Johns is our boy, then best guess is he was born in the 1790s. A fairly well documented family database posted at Rootsweb (kimbos54) makes the progenitor of this family Christopher King, baptized 17 Feb 1733 at Christ Church, Philadelphia, PA, died 24 April 1811 near Ursina, PA, in Lower Turkeyfoot Twp., Somerset Co. He is said to have served in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Wilson's Company. Thereafter he lived in York Co. for awhile (there is a Christian King there in the 1790 census--can't say it's the same guy), and by 1793 was erecting a grist mill in Turkeyfoot Twp., Somerset Co. His wife's name is said to have been Rachel Leech. Other sources say he was in Bedford (now Somerset) County by 1785, and that he appeared in the census there in 1790 (RW db adgedge, which appears to be well documented). If so, ancestry.com missed him in their index, which is not at all unlikely. He made his will in 1806, and is abstracted as follows at Rootsweb (kimbos54, with a few minor changes): # Note: Son David, his # Note: smithing tools. His wearing appearl to his brothers Michael and # Note: Phillip. To his widow, Rachael, was to have a good warm room in # Note: the home place, a garden, a mare, a cow, and an annuity to be # Note: provided by his son John. She was to have ample grain, meat, # Note: flax, and wool. Christopher's total land was 562 acres. Son # Note: David was to have 159 acre parcel containing the grist mill, # Note: named King's Mill. The remaining land was to be divided between # Note: son's Thomas, John based on a survey line drawn in 1799. Moses # Note: received 2 contiguous tracts of land totaling 275 acres located # Note: between Mud Lick Run and Laurel Hill Run, three miles north of # Note: Ursina, Pa. One of these properties was called "The Virgin's # Note: Adventure" had been surveyed to his daughter Jane. To Moses # Note: son Christopher received a tract of land 130-135 acres. The 250 # Note: acre tract of land in Milford Township was to be sold and # Note: daughters Jane Wilson, Catherine Tedrow, and Rachael Ream each # Note: to receive equal portions. The executors were Christopher's # Note: brother Philip and his son David. After Christopher's death his # Note: widow, Rachael moved to Perry County Ohio, possibly to live with # Note: her son Thomas, a judge. Here is a possible connection between the Turkeyfoot and Milford Kings, but I still don't see it. The Messimer-Kings were apparently unrelated to this family. More on Rachel from this same Rootsweb db: # Note: ____ Rachael (Leech) King: Disowned by Quaker Society for # Note: marring a non-Quaker. Moved to Perry Co. Ohio with son Thomas, a # Note: judge, after the death of her husband. Rachael's Will dated and # Note: signed by her mark May 18, 1818. Details as follows: To her # Note: daughter Jane Wilson and her husband Thomas, $200.00. To # Note: Rachael and Catherine Tedrow her grand-daughters (children of # Note: Michael and Catherine) $50.00 which was to paid against the note # Note: being held by David King of Somerset Co., Pa this note was held # Note: against the estate of Michael. To her son Moses $50.00. Her # Note: daughter Rachael Ream and her husband Samuel $200.00. The # Note: remaining estate was to be divided among her daughters Rachael, # Note: and Jane. Thomas her son was the excutor. Witness were Henry # Note: Skinner and James Wilson. She is said to have been the daughter of Thomas Leech and Sarah Boyd. Her children with Christopher are listed as: 1. David King, b. 1764 in York Co., PA, m. Lydia Colborn, Rebecca Reed, d. 23 April 1851, bur. Jersey Baptist Cem. 2. Moses King, b. 1766, m. Sarah (unknown), children: Christopher, Elizabeth, Samuel K., Moses, Charles 3. Mary Catherine King, b. 30 Oct 1769 in York Co., PA, m. Michael Tedrow, d. 8 April 1809 4. Thomas King, b. 15 Jan 1774, m. Nancy Skinner 28 Mar 1793, d. 18 Aug 1839 5. John C. King, b. 18 Jul 1776, m. Highly Rush, d. 4 Aug 1842, bur. Jersey Baptist Cem., children: Jacob, David, Moses, Thomas R., Mary, William, Hannah, John Rush, Sarah, Rachel 6. Jane King, b. 1778, m. Thomas Wilson 7. Rachel King, b. 1781, m. Samuel Ream, d. 1856 in Perry Co., OH Notable in this outline is the absence of John King among the children of Moses and Sarah. There are some large gaps in the birth years, however. After being married in 1791, son Chris was b. 1793, dau. Elizabeth in 1803, son Sam in 1808, son Moses in 1812, and son Charles in 1814 (according to the db). This leaves plenty of room to slip John in between Chris and Elizabeth. Another possibility is that Christopher is John. In some secondary sources of unknown reliability his name is given as John Christopher. However, this does not fit with other information, so should probably be discounted. Other Rootsweb dbs give Moses's wife's name as Mary and give them a completely different list of children. Ah, Rootsweb! Ya gotta love it! Home to more genealogical misinformation than you can shake a 1000 sticks at. The evidence of the censuses suggests that Moses had only one son in the 1790s, which would have been Christopher. The RW databases apparently missed several daughters, but it doesn't look very good for slipping a son John into this list of offspring, at least not during the 1790s. (Btw, in some of these databases, Christopher is said to the be son of Philip King and wife Catherine. I suppose this ought to be in the Christ Church records, but that is not the source cited! Instead, yet another secondary source is cited.) Moses apparently died intestate in 1840. Letters of administration were granted to Samuel K. King and Moses King on 7 November 1840. Sarah was apparently still alive at that time. There are numerous databases at Rootsweb that contain this information, but they all appear to be copies of each other. I have no information on the children of John King and Elizabeth Noff/Neff/ Hartzell/Hartwell other than that David Jacob King was said to have been one (Boucher bio of John H. King at the Westmoreland page). John is said to have died in 1839, and David Jacob King is said to have been born at Confluence, Somerset Co., PA, on 6 November 1820. He is said to have settled near Mt. Pleasant, Westmoreland Co., before 1840, but I don't find him in the census. A correspondent has written that he was married in 1848, but I doubt this can be correct. Judging from the evidence of the censuses, it must have been earlier. The relevant census data (which also appear at the Westmoreland Co. page) are: 1850 East Huntingdon Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA, p.168 David King WM 30 Far. PA Mary Ann ---- WF 25 PA (note: In 1860 he is given a large family and must have started having it before 1850. Where were they?

King, who is 10 years old above. The presence of Phebe is evidence that secondary sources are accurate when they say that wife Mary Ann was the daughter of William and Phoebe (Hutchinson) Simpson. However, it is highly unlikely that the Simpson family was nearly related to President U. S. Grant, as mentioned in the Boucher bio. In 1850, William Simpson, age 78, was in Hempfield Twp., Westmoreland Co., with wife Pheby, age 59, and children William, age 21, Rebecca, age 19, and Pheby Ann, age 16, all b. in PA.

The Boucher bio gives his date of death as 1893 in Westmoreland Co. Mary A. (Simpson) King is said in the same source to have died 7 August 1905. There should be a death registration for both of them at the Register of Wills, County Courthouse, in Greensburg, PA. Which brings me finally to Byron Westley King. Different sources give him different middle names. Some say Westley, while others say Wesley. He was born in Westmoreland Co., probably near Mt. Pleasant, on 10 June either in 1858, 1859, or 1860 (different sources give different dates, and the censuses are no help). He apparently died in 1924, although I can't confirm this.
