Alabama was still a territory when they moved there and there were opportunities here. Many citizens from the Carolinas were a part of the Western expanation of our country.
In his Will, Wm. Rufus DeVane King left instructions that a vault large enough to hold 10 people be build so that his mother, Margaret D. King, and his grandmother , Mary Larkins DeVane could be placed together along with other family members.
