Ancient History

How did the Rands get to Alabama in 1826?

 

DID YOU KNOW...?
by Cousin Martha

Cousin Frank R. King, a merchant in Leighton, Alabama, got worried. It happened around the turn of the last century. He was noticing how Colbert County old-timers had either moved away or were gone to a greater reward. Frank took it upon himself to ask any- and everyone to commit their memories of old-time Leighton and LaGrange to the written word. He even wrote to the folks who'd moved away. The answers are archived in the Leighton Library.

The son of Hartwell King II and Mary Henderson Smith, thus the grandson of Hartwell King and BURCHET CURTIS, Frank King married Imogene White. Frank and Imogene were the parents of six children: Walter White King, Mary Lucile King, Paul Abernathy King, Imogene White King, James Hartwell King, and Lawrence Henderson King.

Cousin Frank was born in 1859 and passed away in 1939.
