King DeArmond was married at least twice:
1. Phoebe "Febe" Shaw, May 14, 1821, Franklin Co., Indiana
2. Nancy Lloyd, July 29, 1840, Butler Co., Ohio
Memoirs of the Miami Valley (1919)
p.162
King DeArmond, one of the notable characters of the early days of Butler county, came in 1823 from Western Pennsylvania. He took up a tract of land in the woods, cleared the timber by infinite labor, and finally succeeded in the establishing of a home, where he lived peacefully and quietly until the gold strike in California caused thousands of hopeful men from every part of the world to make the trip to the Golden State in quest of the precious metal. King DeArmond was one of those to make the rush, but soon discovered that fortunes were not to be picked up by all and decided to return to his farm. On the return journey cholera broke out on shipboard, he fell a victim, died, and was buried at sea. He married Nancy Lloyd of Pennsylvania, who died at Shelbyville, Ind.
