This is all I have as I have not established a link to our David King, b about 1765 in
Ireland who settled in Harrison Co. IN in 1821. David's son Francis, his wife Bridget
and their son Mathew immigrated to the United States from Ireland sometime between 1820
when Mathew was born and September 1821 when their son Patrick was born in Harrison, Co.,
Indiana.
For about 30 years, Francis and his wife Bridget owned a farm in District 45, Health
Township., Harrison Co., IN appearing in the Census' of 1830, 1840 and 1850 (page 451)
at that location.
Francis and Bridget were buried in St. Theresa Catholic Church's Cemetery on Route #
144, near Rhodelia, Meade County, KY. St. Theresa Church was first built as a log church
in 1818. The second log church was built in 1831. The current brick church was built in
1856. The church served people in Meade Co., KY and Harrison Co., IN.
