Van Voorhis, The Old and New Monongahela, Pittsburgh: Nicholson Printer and Binder, 1883, p. 168-169. It read (in part): "Mr. King was born in 1791 in New Jersey. His father, Courtland King, moved to a farm near Library, in Allegheny county, crossing the Monongahela river at Elizabeth when John was one year old, and on his birthday in 1792. The father lived upon and died on that farm in his 62nd year. Of the older family, all died some time ago, but John, the subject of this sketch, a brother named Elijah who lives in Indianapolis, and Isaac, who lives near Library. John King lived with his parents till he was 28 years of age, when he married Miss Jane Stewart, and went to house keeping near his father's, in Jefferson township. The Stewart family was one of the most influential in that neighborhood. Mrs. King's father was active in the whiskey insurrection, and was seized and taken to Little York, then the seat of government, for trial, but was included in the compromise pardon and returned to his home rejoicing that the disturbance was settled, and a better basis of taxation secured to his people. Mr. King removed with his family to Forward township, having bought the farm which he still owned at his death from Mr. John Stover, May, 1836. He lived there until 1873, when he moved to the house in Central Block, where the family now lives. This family consisted of Dr. James Stewart, now of Pittsburgh; Mary L., who died in 1877; Dr. William H., of this city; John, of Spring Valley, Minn.; Dr. Courtland, of Pittsburgh; Jane, wife of James Moore, who died in 1854; Dr. Calvin, of Pittsburgh; Samuel J., of Forward township; Robert, Harvey and an infant child, all dead; Dr. Milton S., of Pittsburgh; and Allie M., who married Mr. Devore. Of these sons, one is a farmer, one is a merchant, and five are surgeon dentists of acknowledged ability and reputation."
