".....Mr. KING is a native of Ohio, his birth having occured (sic) in Highland County, January 27, 1837. Morris KING, his father, was born in New Jersey in 1800 (sic. other sources use 1796), and was of Scotch (sic) descent, while his mother, whose maiden name was Susannah LANDESS, was born in North Carolina in 1802, of German parentage. The youth and maiden emigrated with their respective families to Ohio when Cincinnati was a small town. Mr. KING was a hard-working man and cleared and developed two farms in the midst of the timbered regions of the Buckeye State. He was a member of the Christian Church, a supporter of the Democratic party and his death occurred in 1851. His wife is still living at the advanced age of eighty-eight years and is still remarkably active. Their union was blessed with a family of thirteen children, six sons and seven daughters, of whom ten are yet living. Two of the sons, Allen and Perry, are merchants of Fairfield...."

Portrait and Biographical Album of Jefferson and Van Buren Counties, Iowa, Printed 1890 by Lake City Publishing Co., Chicago, Pages 228-229
".....(sic. Perry) the twelfth in a family of thirteen children, whose parents were Morris and Susannah KING. His father, a native of New Jersey, died in 1851 when our subject was a lad of six years. He married Susannah LANDES, who was born in North Carolina in March, 1802. During her childhood she removed thence to Kentucky and when a maiden of twelve summers, accompanied her family to Ohio, where she is still living at the advanced age of eighty-eight years. She still enjoys a fair degree of health and, in 1889, made a visit from Ohio to Mr. KING in Fairfield. The family is worthy of special mention for various reasons. It consisted of six sons and seven daughters, all of whom lived to mature years and were married. None of the sons ever used whiskey or tobacco, three of the number wore the blue in the late war, one was killed in Missouri by deserters from the Union army during the war, one is a farmer in O'Brien County, Iowa, and the other was a teacher of prominence, and died in Fairfield while visiting friends in that place...."
