John - Hi
I considered myself lucky to learn that it was a plantation in IofW. Alexander King was listed as a planter. I am assuming that this is an indication that he owned the plantation as opposed to being a foreman or plowman. My ancestry does not go through him, though we may share some ancestry.
My King line (Arthur) owned 100 acs of land in Westmoreland (in Nomini) immediately adjacent to some of the Lee property, but I suspect that my Kings and the Lees were nearly on the opposite ends of things. I am not aware of any marriages here. I am also not aware whether Arthur had any siblings who could have conceivably married the Lees. I read once, and I hesitate to mention, that some of the Lee ancestry in this country was being "hidden from history" assumingly because they were not up to the Lees' standards. As usual, just because I read this information on the internet, that does not necessarily make it true.
Note: I am not taking this position, but merely repeating what I read from some people who were apparently Lee descendants.
Yes, some of the Kings (Osborn King > Preston King > Ziba King) which branched off from my line while in Kentucky ca 1850 did go to Texas (Wise Co, Arlington, Ft Worth), via Saline or Pope Co, Illinois.
