Amasa, son of a farmer, moved with his family from Franklin County, Ohio, to Blackcreek Township, Mercer County, Ohio, around 1834. His father died when he was twelve, and his mother married Christian Hartzog. He worked on the family farm until his marriage to Catherine Mihm when he and Catharine obtained a small farm of their own. He was also a "head sawyer," according to the 1860 Census.
The "War of the Rebellion" called for his services, and he enlisted into "A" Company of the 46th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was described as being 5'7" tall, dark complected, with dark hair and blue eyes.
Sgt. Amasa King had been a healthy man until early in 1862, soon after his enlistment, when he took a severe cold and became hoarse, then lost his speech. His speech improved, but he never regained his strength and had relapses and was barely audible. After three years of military service, he was mustered out and soon after died of "lung fever."
