Surname King from Va. left on the Argo from St Augustine Florida to Nova Scotia, Canada after the American Revolution. John, George, Henry, Atsbury, Sterling and Sugar King along with Rebecca, a child. We also have Proctor's and Halls and Reynold's in the family. They were in South Carolina regiments.

RICHMOND -
Looking for children of John Wesley Richmond (1856-1919). He was an itinerant preacher from West Virginia who had three wives and 19 children there but family legend says that he also had children in Virginia. His actual name, in West Virginia, was Wellington Wesley Richmond but he sometimes used John Wesley Richmond. I have significant data on the family; willing to share.

GROOMES, GROOMS -
I'm looking basically for a needle in a hay stack. The only info I have on this man is his name is Thomas C. Groom(e)s and according to an 1880 census, was born in 1835 in Virginia. He was living in Jefferson, KS at this time, married to Suzannah, with a daughter named Essie, age 3. I found that they bought property in Cedarvale, KS. The deed showed that his wife went by Anna. Anna is showed being born in IA about 1855. Thomas died there in 1892 from an accident and is buried there. This is all I really can give you. I know its a small needle, but if you could help in anyway, I would appreciate it.
