Samuel A. King was born in Woodford County, Kentucky on October 11, 1834. His father was Rev. William Montgomery King, also a Presbyterian minister who died in Waco in 1882. His mother entered the church triumphant in 1852. The family emigrated to Texas in 1851, locating first at Henderson, then moving to Smith County. Dr. King received his entire education from his father, as schools and colleges were rare at that time in Texas. Following an examination in Theology, Church History, Polity, and the delivery of a sermon, he was ordained on April 5, 1856. This began a period of constant travel, preaching throughout Eastern and Central Texas. He preached forty-five times in 1856 and one hundred twelve times in 1857. In 1858, he preached 131 times, divided among Crockett, Centerville, Palestine, Larissa, Liberty, Rusk, Garden Valley, Randolph, Antrim Church, Fairfield, Union Academy, Waco, San Marcos, and Huntsville. Dr. King married Athelia Ann King, daughter of Adam C. King, an elder in the church at Crockett, on January 19, 1859.
Dr. King, began preaching in Waco in 1858 and then began preaching once a month in 1863. Four years later, he increased the frequency of his preaching to two Sundays each month. This began a 15 year period of service as the church's stated supply until he was called by the church and installed as its first full time pastor on June 25, 1882.
Dr. King was active in the national church as well. In 1877, he attended the Pan-Presbyterian Council in Edinburgh, Scotland under appointment of General Assembly. In addition, he served as moderator of the General Assembly meeting in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1892. Well respected for his biblical knowledge, Dr. King resigned to become Chair of Theology at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Austin, Texas.
Dr. Samuel Alexander King was considered to be one of the greatest Presbyterian preachers of that denomination.
