The
King’s Footprints: Descendants of Gillium King & His Wives: Nancy Jowers
& Margaret Outlaw, by Jill King Lyles.
Many
genealogical researchers in Chesterfield County, SC are frustrated by the lack
of county records. Jill
K. Lyles overcomes this problem in her latest genealogical book on the Gillum
King family. Gillum
King (born ca. 1783, NC, died 27 March 1858, Chesterfield District, SC) was the
eldest son of George King (born ca. 1755, died 1840, Chesterfield District, SC)
and Winnie Hill (born ca. 1755, NC. died 1850 in Chesterfield District, SC).
Thirteen children were born to his first wife, Nancy Jowers, daughter of
John Jowers of NC. Gillum
King’s second marriage to Margaret Outlaw produced one child.
The marriages of each of these fourteen children are given and the
resulting families are carried down to the present day in many cases.
Many of these families have descendants scattered over the adjoining
counties of Darlington, Lee, and Kershaw.
Lyles promises forthcoming volumes on the daughters of George King which
will include marriages into the Sowell, Newman, Jowers, and Thomas families.
It is hoped that Lyles will address the speculation that Winnie Hill
King, wife of George King, lived to be a centenarian, in these forthcoming
volumes. 224
pages of text, 282 total pages including an every name index, paper bound,
spiral publication. Price:
$55.00 plus $4.00
shipping for first book and $1.50
for each additional book.
