Henry B. King Bible dates:
First:
Births:
Harriet Tnfena [sec ?] L. King and Samuel Carter King were born on Tuesday July 15 1851.TWINS!
Deaths:
Saml. C. King died August 12th 1851 aged 28 days: July 15 to August 12 is 28 days - this would compute.
Deaths:
Harriet J. L. King died August the 2 th in 1854 died 13 years 10 days:
This is 3 years- 18 days - of age - this does not compute.
We need 13 years - 10 days - or something like that.
Try:
Harriet J. L. King died: August 2nd 1864: age 13 years - 18 days - this would compute.
This means Henry B. King & Elizabeth H. Huff-Johnston-King had FOUR children total:
1) William Sergant "Doc" King - b. 29 May 1843. d. Killed Battle of Murfreesboro*
2) Hannah Louvenia Jane King - b. 30 October 1845. d. 24 July 1892.
3) Harriet Tnfena [sec ?] L. King - b. 15 July 1851. d. 2 August 1864.
4) Samuel Carter King - b. 15 July 1851. d. 12 August 1851.
NOTE: Elizabeth H. Huff has two prior children from marriage 1) Robert M. Johnston.
Second:
Deaths:

The Henry B. King Bible List: (chronologically?) is:
R .M. Johston 1839.
J.H.M. King nyl
J.K. King 1849.
S.C. King 1851.
E.H. King 1860.
W.S. "Doc" 1868.
H.J.L. King 1864.
1868 is out of place:
J. H. King: "On 30th or 31st Dec.1862 Battle of Murfreesboro or Stones River came on...
My cousin Doc. King, was the 1st man struck in the Regt. by my side...
I told the infirmary corps to carry him to the hospital, and I would come to him after the Battle...
He died in 16 days. I never got to see him. He was the only relation I had in the Regt... He was a fine soldier."
William Sergant "Doc" King died 16 January 1863 - this does compute.
William Sergant "Doc" King is first cousin to J.H. King author of the Memoirs; and
William Sergant "Doc" King is brother to Hannah Louvenia Jane King wife of Marcus DeLayfette Burton.
