      "A Brief Biographical Sketch of Johathan King of North Carolina," by Caleb King, his 10th son
      "...As you will note, I have only referred briefly to my father's three brothers, Joseph, Samuel and Benjamin. They reared large families and became prosperous, in fact wealthy. Joseph like my father never attached himself to any church. Samuel was a member of the Baptist Church for many years, but when a vigorous temperance wave swept over the country in which he resided, and his brethren informed him that he must stop distilling even his own grains and fruits, or be turned out of the church, he indignantly resigned his membership and refused reinstatement ever afterwards. The third brother Benjamin, and all his family except Elisha, were members of the Baptist Church.
      Signed: Caleb King"
