    Notes:

    Nathaniel may be been born in Virginia as some sources list him (Dee Lansford).

    In 1804 Nathaniel King and his family migrated to Tennessee from South Carolina. Nathaniel King with his wife, two sons and one daughter stayed for a few years in McMinn County, Tennessee. They were listed in the 1830 Federal Census there. The children settled in the Middle Creek and Wears Cove areas of Sevier County, Tennessee. They were listed in the 1830 Federal Census there.

    Nathaniel King has an entry for 100 acres of land on the waters of Middle Creek in the Sevier County, Tennessee. This could, however, be his son Nathanial as he was married that year. Further evidence suggesting such is that the land bordered his son William's property and was witnessed by his two sons.

    In surveyor's Book No. 1 dated in 1834 is the following:

    "State of Tennessee) "By virtue of Entry No. 1000 dated 7 day of March 1834
    Sevier County )

    "I have surveyed for Nathaniel King one hundred acres of land in said county lying joining the lands of Philip Roberts Sen

    "Beginning on a Poplar near a corner to said Roberts land, running then with Middle Creek S 68 E 60 Poles to a stake, N 59 E 94 Poles to a white Oak near the water fall a corner to an Entry in the name of William King, then with the same N 8 47 Poles to a white oak a corner to same, the with V[acant] L[ands] N 43 94 Poles to a Black Oak, S 70 W 102 Poles to a Black Oak and Pine on a Ridge, S 5 W 83 Poles to a stake & mulberry on or near the line of George Fox, S 38 E 25 Poles to the Beginning.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Sevier County, Tennessee Census, there is an Elizabeth King age seventy one living with her son Wyly King age forty nine, and wife Margaret Adair King age forty nine. From the information gathered so far, Elizabeth would have been born about 1779, married about 1795 or early 1796, at age sixteen or seventeen. Her first child, daughter Lavina King was born about 1796, her second child son, Wyley King was born in February of 1798. Elizabeth would have been age thirty nine when her last child, son Andrew Jackson King was born. Elizabeth was about age seventy three when she died in Sevier County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Shucky moved with the family to Sevier County, Tennessee as early as 1805, soon after the death of his father.

    Isaac was one of the first settlers in Gatlinburg. No land records prior to 1824 were found for Isaac Ogle but it is shown by Richard Reagan's early grants that Isaac and William, his brother, entered land adjoining Richard's land on Mill Creek. This ran from Mill Creek down to "the lane" (Reagan Lane) and nearly to the old river road. Later records show this land as belonging to Isaac alone and still later to his son, Elijah Ogle. Isaac also entered land near the road from the Glades, running down to the mouth of Roaring Fork Creek in Gatlinburg. As his sons and daughters became of age, he gave them these lands and he moved to the Banner area north of Gatlinburg.

    Isaac and his wife, Susannah, were charter members of the White Oak Flats Baptist Church. The family appears in the Sevier County, Tennessee Federal Census records, 1830 to 1880. Isaac died 2 Sep 1881 according to the Death Register of 1881 found in Sevier County Courthouse.
