William V. King was born in Anderson District, S. C., March 9, 1832,
and is a son of Lyndon and Nancy (Hughes) King, natives of North
Carolina and Virginia, respectively. His maternal grandfather, William
Hughes, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The father was married
in South Carolina, where he lived for several years after. He later
moved to Paulding County, Ga., and there died in 1857. In Georgia
William V. passed his youth, and when of age married. Laura Morrison,
a native of Henderson County, N. C., became his wife in September,
1860, and is now the mother of seven children: Mary Jane, wife of H.
C. Peters; Martha, wife of J. W. Taff; Cornelia, James T., I. M.,
Henry L. and Emma. In 1861 Mr. King enlisted in the Third Brigade of
Col. Stephens' division, and served until the close of the war. He was
in the fight at Tazewell, Tenn., August 6, 1862, and at Baker's Creek,
Chickamauga, Resaca, New Hope and the siege of Atlanta. While on
detached duty, in 1864, he was taken prisoner, and held the remainder
of the time at Fort Delaware. In 1871 he returned to his family in
Georgia, and in the fall of that year came to Arkansas, and
homesteaded land in Franklin County. He now owns 180 acres of land,
which he has purchased at different times, and has fifty acres in a
fine state of cultivation. Mr. King is a member of the Masonic
fraternity.

Additional Comments:
It is believed that William Voit King's parents & possibly siblings died in or 
near Paulding County, Georgia.  I am looking for anyone who has information on 
Linden/Lyndon King & wife Nancy (Hughes) King family. This picture attatched 
is Wm Voit King with his horse from the Civil War in Arkansas, shortly after 
relocating from Georgia to Arkansas.  The census shows Lyndon was born in 
North Carolina, married in Pendelton, Anderson, South Carolina, and moved 
between 1832-1840 to the Van Wert/Rome Georgia area. Any help appreciated!
