Peter King, was the son of George and Eve (Moyer) King. He was born Jan 30, 1817 and died 1888 in Washington Twp., Sandusky Co. Ohio, aged 63 years 6 months 2 days. Peter King came to Sandusky County, Ohio in 1851 from Fairfield County, Ohio where he resided after his marriage to Mary Shoemaker, on March 1, 1838 by Henry King (Minister). She was a native of Pickaway Co., Ohio and was born March 17, 1818, died June 27, 1901 aged 83 years 3 months 10 days.
The Kings settled on a partly cleared farm of 240 acres in Washington twp. and in that section Peter King became a man of much consequence. He served in many of the township offices, was a leader in the Democratic party and was one of the most liberal supporters of the German Reformed church. He was the father of a large family (9 children). Besides farming, he was a carpenter and a cabinet maker, and took great pride in doing his work well. He built a large house for his family. There was a circular stairway from the main floor to the attic. The woodwork was rubbed and polished until it was smooth as glass. On top of the roof was a sun deck with a metal fence around it. The chimney was round (different from our square conrnered chimneys.) Peter King bought his home on Nov 22, 1851 from John Harmon and (as of the 1960s) had remained in the King family.
Children of Peter and Mary King: Samuel S., George W., Rebeccas S., Levi, Henry M., Malinda, Mary Ann, Peter S., and Jacob M.
