  King, Francis Asbury, was born on July 18, 1840, in Danby, Tompkins 
County, N.Y. He attended school a number of years in the township where 
he was born, spent over two years in the academy at Ithaca, N.Y., and 
two years in Wyoming Seminary. He was converted when a small child, and 
cannot remember when he began to pray. The call to the Christian 
ministry came to him in 1865, in which year the North Danby Church gave 
him an exhorter's license. On March 17, 1866, the Kingston Quarterly 
Conference gave him local preacher's license. He joined the Conference 
in 1868.
  On April 2, 1868, he married Miss Anna Norris, of Slaterville, N.Y.
