Nancy Ann Angel was born about 1820 near present day Ketchen in NW Campbell Co., Tennessee . The area that she was born in became part of NE Scott County in 1849 when it was created from parts of Campbell, Fentress, Anderson and Morgan counties.
Much of present day Scott County was once part of Campbell County, which had been formed in 1806 from portions of Claiborne and Anderson counties. Prior to that year(1849) her family's land was part of Anderson Co., TN, formed in 1801.
Nancy was the daughter of Archibald Andrew "Arch" Angel (1775-1847) and Nancy Ann Trammell (1782-1829). She was obviously named after her mother.
Nancy's parents are buried in the Angel Family Cemetery (aka Angel-Wright Cemetery) in Angel Valley, in graves that are now unmarked or unreadable. There are 160+ unidentifiable burial markers (many of them field stones) and several unmarked grave sites in this old family cemetery. In fact, there are only 20 or so readable burial markers. Unfortunately, the cemetery has now been damaged by cattle. It was once part of her parent's farm, their home being located not far from the cemetery. Her maternal uncle, James Trammell (1774-1826) has the oldest readable marker in the cemetery.
Nancy's father, Arch, was born (1775) in the District of Washington, British Province of North Carolina and died in Campbell Co., TN. He was the son of English immigrant, William Angel II (abt 1752-1853), and Mary Rachel Godwin (abt 1752-bet 1841/50), born in the British Province of North Carolina. Rachel lived with the Angel family during the last two decades (more?) of her life and is buried in the Angel Cemetery, probably with a marker that is now unreadable.
Nancy's paternal grandfather, William Angel II, was born in Tugford, Shropshire, England where his parents lived and died. Many family trees show Nancy's paternal GM (Rachel) as having been born in Tennessee, however, Tennessee was not even a state until 1796, about 44 years after her birth.
Nancy's mother, Nancy Ann Trammell, was the daughter of Revolutionary War soldier, Dennis Trammell (1759-1849) and Elizabeth Brassfield? (1857-1820). One noted Angel genealogist believes that Brassfield was actually Elizabeth's married name from a brief previous marriage and that her actual maiden name is currently unknown. Possible.
On Aug. 29, 1939, Nancy married Enos King (1816-1891) in Campbell Co., Tennessee. Some King family trees show the letter "B" for his middle given name, however, there is no official documentation to support this initial.
Enos and Nancy were married by Matthew Douglas (1791-1845), a Justice of the Peace. Matthew, who lived near the present day Newcomb area, was married to Enos's aunt, Nancy Ann (King) Douglas (1792-1861), sister to Enos's father, Thomas Murray King (1790-1880).
Nancy had four siblings who also married into the King family. Her brother, James Angel (abt 1806-bet 1860/70) married Sarah "Sary/Sallie" Angel (abt 1813-bet 1870/80) about 1830. Nancy's sister, Millia "Millie" Angel (abt 1816-bet 1861/70), married William "Billy" King II (abt 1810-bet 1880/90?), also about 1830. Nancy's brother, Dennis Angel (abt 1819-abt 1856) married Elizabeth "Lizzy" King (abt 1819-bet 1870/80). In 1842, Nancy's younger sister, Elizabeth Jane Angel (abt 1824-bet 1880/00?) married Jackson H. King (1842-1857).
The first three Kings were the offspring of William King I (1785-bet 1841/50) and Elizabeth MNU (1789-bet 1841/50). William was an older brother of Thomas Murray "Tom" King, Enos's father, who once lived in Campbell County relatively near the Angel Family.
My GG-GF, Enos King, was a life-long farmer. As mentioned earlier, he was the son of Thomas Murray "Tom" King (1790-1880) and Mary Rebecca "Polly" Cox (1800-1881), both born in old North Carolina. Thomas and Mary are buried in the Duncan Cemetery located in McCreary Co., Kentucky.
Enos' father, Thomas, was the patriarch of the King family in McCreary Co., KY having moved his family from Campbell Co., TN to the Marsh Creek area of lower Whitley Co. (now part of McCreary Co.), KY about 1819. From about 1814-19, the Thomas Murray King family had lived in the present day Capuchin area of Whitley Co. (now part of Scott Co.) between the Angel family in the Angel Valley area and the Douglas family who lived near present day Newcomb. They also lived near Thomas' brother, William King (1785-1841) and his family.
In 1842, Nancy's 20 year old sister, Elizabeth Jane "Eliza" Angel (1822-1891), married Enos's 25 year old widowed brother, Jackson H. King 1817-1857). Jack's unknown first wife had died about 1840-41 leaving him with up to three young children.
Nancy and Enos were married for about 52 years and had 12 known children. They are listed in his memorial. There may have been other children who did died at/near birth or who did not survive childhood.
After marrying in 1839, Enos and Nancy lived in Campbell Co., TN for a few years where their first known child, Jackson H. King (1842-1919), was born. He was named after Enos's brother, Jackson H. King (1817-1867), and was the only one of Nancy's 12 children to be born in Tennessee. The rest of her children were born across the TN/KY state line in lower Whitley Co., KY, in an area that is now part of McCreary Co., KY.
About 1843, Enos and Nancy migrated to the Marsh Creek area of lower Whitley Co. (now McCreary Co.), KY, where his parents were living and where he had spent most of his childhood. This is were their second child, Mary Ellen "Polly" King (1844-1920), was born. Enos may have eventually rented his father's first farm in Whitley County.
By the 1860s, Enos and Nancy had relocated again and were living on a farm on what is now called Ross Road, just a few miles above the (1st) Otter Creek Regular Baptist Church, located in McCreary Co.(then part of Whitley Co.). By 1870, their son, Jack King, was living on a small piece of land adjacent to their farm, land that he had probably obtained from his father, Enos, who had obtained his land from his father in 1860. With Enos' death (1892-1900) Jack may have also inherited the rest of his father's land.
It was there that Nancy and her husband, Enos, lived the rest of their lives, close to Enos' parents and his brother, Elisha S. King (1832-1892), 20 years his junior. Their 70 year old father, Thomas, had deeded some of his land in 1860 to both Enos and Elisha, as well as to their brothers, "Dipen" Burl King (1826-1917) and Thomas Braxton "Brack" King (1839-1918).
Nancy and her husband, Enos, both died sometime after May 27, 1892 (bet 1892-1900) as they are both listed in a deed on that date and they do not appear in the 1900 census. Currently, no official birth/death records have been found for either of them. Courthouse fires in 1926 and 1952 destroyed most of the older records for the McCreary County area.
Nancy and her husband, Enos, are buried in the King Cemetery (aka Laurel Creek Cemetery & King-Perry Cemetery) located in McCreary Co., KY. Nancy has a small field stone marker that has Nancy A. King carved on it. Enos has either an unreadable field stone marker or a grave site that is no longer marked. There are also several open spaces in this cemetery that are thought to have been used for burials.
Enos and Nancy's daughter, Rachel Oma "Omie" (King) King, and her husband, Murry King, are buried in the King Cemetery. Other family burials include Omy's son, Enos King, who was named after her father. There is also another field stone marker with Dan King carved on it, probably Enos' younger brother.
The King Cemetery was also called the Laurel Creek Cemetery and is now often referred to as the Perry-King Cemetery. It was not known as the Perry-King Cemetery until Robert Ernest Stephens called it that in his excellent books on McCreary County Cemeteries in 1990. Stephens wrote in his book that since no one seemed to know the official name of the cemetery he just decided to call it the Perry-King Cemetery. He said that he did so because well over half of the burials in this cemetery were members of the King family.
He went on to say that he added the name Perry since the earliest identifiable marker, a simple field stone, was for Tempy Perry (1849-1920). He obviously did not realize that Tempy's maiden was King. Married to Richard Perry (1847-1881), she was the daughter of William T. King (abt 1814-1877), Enos's older brother. William and his wife, Jane Stephens (1817-1881), are also thought to be buried in this cemetery graves that are now unmarked. Four of their children and several of their grandchildren are buried in this family cemetery.

Nancy's father, Arch, was born (1775) in the District of Washington, British Province of North Carolina and died in Campbell Co., TN. He was the son of English immigrant, William Angel II (abt 1752-1853), and Mary Rachel Godwin (abt 1752-bet 1841/50), born in the British Province of North Carolina. Rachel lived with the Angel family during the last two decades (more?) of her life and is buried in the Angel Cemetery, probably with a marker that is now unreadable.
Nancy's paternal grandfather, William Angel II, was born in Tugford, Shropshire, England where his parents lived and died. Many family trees show Nancy's paternal GM (Rachel) as having been born in Tennessee, however, Tennessee was not even a state until 1796, about 44 years after her birth.
Nancy's mother, Nancy Ann Trammell, was the daughter of Revolutionary War soldier, Dennis Trammell (1759-1849) and Elizabeth Brassfield? (1857-1820). One noted Angel genealogist believes that Brassfield was actually Elizabeth's married name from a brief previous marriage and that her actual maiden name is currently unknown. Possible.
On Aug. 29, 1939, Nancy married Enos King (1816-1891) in Campbell Co., Tennessee. Some King family trees show the letter "B" for his middle given name, however, there is no official documentation to support this initial.
Enos and Nancy were married by Matthew Douglas (1791-1845), a Justice of the Peace. Matthew, who lived near the present day Newcomb area, was married to Enos's aunt, Nancy Ann (King) Douglas (1792-1861), sister to Enos's father, Thomas Murray King (1790-1880).
Nancy had four siblings who also married into the King family. Her brother, James Angel (abt 1806-bet 1860/70) married Sarah "Sary/Sallie" Angel (abt 1813-bet 1870/80) about 1830. Nancy's sister, Millia "Millie" Angel (abt 1816-bet 1861/70), married William "Billy" King II (abt 1810-bet 1880/90?), also about 1830. Nancy's brother, Dennis Angel (abt 1819-abt 1856) married Elizabeth "Lizzy" King (abt 1819-bet 1870/80). In 1842, Nancy's younger sister, Elizabeth Jane Angel (abt 1824-bet 1880/00?) married Jackson H. King (1842-1857).
The first three Kings were the offspring of William King I (1785-bet 1841/50) and Elizabeth MNU (1789-bet 1841/50). William was an older brother of Thomas Murray "Tom" King, Enos's father, who once lived in Campbell County relatively near the Angel Family.
My GG-GF, Enos King, was a life-long farmer. As mentioned earlier, he was the son of Thomas Murray "Tom" King (1790-1880) and Mary Rebecca "Polly" Cox (1800-1881), both born in old North Carolina. Thomas and Mary are buried in the Duncan Cemetery located in McCreary Co., Kentucky.
Enos' father, Thomas, was the patriarch of the King family in McCreary Co., KY having moved his family from Campbell Co., TN to the Marsh Creek area of lower Whitley Co. (now part of McCreary Co.), KY about 1819. From about 1814-19, the Thomas Murray King family had lived in the present day Capuchin area of Whitley Co. (now part of Scott Co.) between the Angel family in the Angel Valley area and the Douglas family who lived near present day Newcomb. They also lived near Thomas' brother, William King (1785-1841) and his family.
In 1842, Nancy's 20 year old sister, Elizabeth Jane "Eliza" Angel (1822-1891), married Enos's 25 year old widowed brother, Jackson H. King 1817-1857). Jack's unknown first wife had died about 1840-41 leaving him with up to three young children.
Nancy and Enos were married for about 52 years and had 12 known children. They are listed in his memorial. There may have been other children who did died at/near birth or who did not survive childhood.
After marrying in 1839, Enos and Nancy lived in Campbell Co., TN for a few years where their first known child, Jackson H. King (1842-1919), was born. He was named after Enos's brother, Jackson H. King (1817-1867), and was the only one of Nancy's 12 children to be born in Tennessee. The rest of her children were born across the TN/KY state line in lower Whitley Co., KY, in an area that is now part of McCreary Co., KY.
About 1843, Enos and Nancy migrated to the Marsh Creek area of lower Whitley Co. (now McCreary Co.), KY, where his parents were living and where he had spent most of his childhood. This is were their second child, Mary Ellen "Polly" King (1844-1920), was born. Enos may have eventually rented his father's first farm in Whitley County.
By the 1860s, Enos and Nancy had relocated again and were living on a farm on what is now called Ross Road, just a few miles above the (1st) Otter Creek Regular Baptist Church, located in McCreary Co.(then part of Whitley Co.). By 1870, their son, Jack King, was living on a small piece of land adjacent to their farm, land that he had probably obtained from his father, Enos, who had obtained his land from his father in 1860. With Enos' death (1892-1900) Jack may have also inherited the rest of his father's land.
It was there that Nancy and her husband, Enos, lived the rest of their lives, close to Enos' parents and his brother, Elisha S. King (1832-1892), 20 years his junior. Their 70 year old father, Thomas, had deeded some of his land in 1860 to both Enos and Elisha, as well as to their brothers, "Dipen" Burl King (1826-1917) and Thomas Braxton "Brack" King (1839-1918).
Nancy and her husband, Enos, both died sometime after May 27, 1892 (bet 1892-1900) as they are both listed in a deed on that date and they do not appear in the 1900 census. Currently, no official birth/death records have been found for either of them. Courthouse fires in 1926 and 1952 destroyed most of the older records for the McCreary County area.
Nancy and her husband, Enos, are buried in the King Cemetery (aka Laurel Creek Cemetery & King-Perry Cemetery) located in McCreary Co., KY. Nancy has a small field stone marker that has Nancy A. King carved on it. Enos has either an unreadable field stone marker or a grave site that is no longer marked. There are also several open spaces in this cemetery that are thought to have been used for burials.
Enos and Nancy's daughter, Rachel Oma "Omie" (King) King, and her husband, Murry King, are buried in the King Cemetery. Other family burials include Omy's son, Enos King, who was named after her father. There is also another field stone marker with Dan King carved on it, probably Enos' younger brother.
The King Cemetery was also called the Laurel Creek Cemetery and is now often referred to as the Perry-King Cemetery. It was not known as the Perry-King Cemetery until Robert Ernest Stephens called it that in his excellent books on McCreary County Cemeteries in 1990. Stephens wrote in his book that since no one seemed to know the official name of the cemetery he just decided to call it the Perry-King Cemetery. He said that he did so because well over half of the burials in this cemetery were members of the King family.
He went on to say that he added the name Perry since the earliest identifiable marker, a simple field stone, was for Tempy Perry (1849-1920). He obviously did not realize that Tempy's maiden was King. Married to Richard Perry (1847-1881), she was the daughter of William T. King (abt 1814-1877), Enos's older brother. William and his wife, Jane Stephens (1817-1881), are also thought to be buried in this cemetery graves that are now unmarked. Four of their children and several of their grandchildren are buried in this family cemetery.
