The Francis II King Family

.....Francis II and Mary Richards King were the first of the Francis King family to come to Jackson County. It is my theory that they came with Abraham and Anna King Staats. I believe that Anna is Francis II KIng's aunt. But, I can not prove it. The first Francis King came to America in the middle 1600s and settled in Stafford County, Virgina. A younger son of a wealthy family, Francis attached himself to a wealthy man as a indentured servant. Once in America, Francis did well. I have this family back as far back as the 1300s in England.

Here are the children of Francis II and Mary Richards.
