Did anyone find out what MANCHOSKUE means?
What tribe did the word or naming of this area come from?
Is there a record of what was produced?
Did any of the Kings come to Texas?
Weren't the Kings and Lees family friends and eventually intermarried with
each other or was this a differnet group of Kings?
Thanks

THANKS for the responses. Looks like it is/was a plantation possibly owned
by Alexander King.
Thanks,
