General Notes: Husband - William King

---

His early life was spent on his father's farm in Alle­gheny County, Pennsylvania, he receiving the common-school edu­cation of that day. About the year 1824 or 1825 he associated himself in business with Messrs. Josiah and Calvin Truesdell, who were then largely engaged in general merchandising, and were among the most prominent and enterprising citi­zens of the town of Claysville. His business required frequent trips to the neighboring state of Ohio, often in in­clement seasons of the year, on one of which he was taken suddenly ill at Cambridge, Ohio, and after a brief illness there died.

General Notes: Wife - Catharine Stevenson

---

Being of Scotch-Irish descent, she held to the Presbyterian faith.
With the death of her second husband, she again became a widow, and in the early summer following she removed back to the old "Stephenson homestead," from which she had been separated many years, and in which by inheritance she still retained an interest. She there, amid the scenes of her childhood days, spent the remainder of her life.
