General Notes: Husband - Conrad King

---

He was born in Germany, and came from there to America when a young man with his wife and one child, a daughter. They crossed the Atlantic ocean in a sailing vessel that consumed eight weeks in making the voyage, landing at Baltimore, Maryland, July 4, 1832, from which city they shortly afterward made their way to Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, by team. There he followed his trade, shoemaking, for seven years. From there he moved to Armstrong County and settled in what was then Allegheny (later Gilpin) township, where he purchased fifty-five acres of land near the Forks Church. This was known as the old John Stoops farm, but the clearing was mainly done by Conrad King, and here he passed the remainder of his life.
