Edward King
Letters from Margaret (Gorman) King to her children [including Valentine King and Barbara (King) Cloherty] suggest that her son Edward "Ned" King immigrated to the United States with his siblings, possibly settling in St. Paul, Minnesota. For several reasons, I am researching the possibility that the Edward King family shown below is John P. King's brother Ned. Circumstantial evidence includes their proximity to Valentine King's address in St. Paul, and the proximity of Edward King's plot at Calvary Cemetery to John P.'s and Valentine's plots. I am trying to locate naturalization papers for Edward, or other documentation that could identify his parents. If you have additional information on this family, please contact .
