An individual contacted me via familysearch & did an Y-DNA test on King line, as a result of that discovered Benjamin Hampton King’s parents are Michael King (born 1807 in NC) & wife Elizabeth (born 1808 in SC or NC).
Michael King is listed on the 1853 Mississippi state census in Lauderdale Co. MS. (Benjamin Hampton King is also there). Elizabeth is listed as a widow on the 1880 Census in Scott Co. MS (parents are listed as born in North Carolina).
