MADISON KING
Maderson (Madison) King made his Last Will and Testament at Davids Island POW Camp, NY, 21 Aug 1863; proved Oct Term 1863, recorded 10 Dec 1863, Fayette Co, GA, Will Book 1, pp. 235-236.
The Will directs that the grave(s) of his parents, Benajah and
Sarah King, be improved and tombstones erected at County Line Church, Fayette
Co, GA. (However, no tombstones have been found; there are two graves of
piled-up rock, probably granite, with large plastic cards affixed bearing the
notations: "Benjamin King, B: 1768 in VA, D: 1827 in GA"; and "Sarah King, B:
1788 in NC, D: 1863 in GA".)
H. F. Longino is named as a brother-in-law in the Will. Sarah
King, b. 28 Oct 1815, d. 15 Jan 1899, married Hugh F. Lungeno [sic] 3 Nov 1836
in Henry Co, GA. Based on Madison's will, Sarah is believed to be his older
sister and Elizabeth King his "youngest" sister. Hugh F. Lungeno is believed
to be Hugh Flournoy Longino, b. 13 Nov 1814 in GA, d. 9 Jan 1891 in Meriwether
Co, GA. A Hugh Lungino [sic] made a deed to Thos. Hall dated 12 Jul 1823,
recorded Book K, p. 161, Putnam Co, GA, conveying lot #276, Putnam Co, GA.
Because Hugh Flournoy Longino, husband of Sarah King, would have been too
young to have made this deed, the grantor may have been his father. It is
believed that Elizabeth King, listed in the household of Madison King in the
1850 census for Fayette Co, GA, was Madison's sister, not his wife. However,
Madison reportedly married Elizabeth Longino about 1851, and she is the wife
listed in his household in the 1860 Census for Fayette Co, GA.
Madison King is buried at Cypress Hills National Cemetery, 625 Jamaica Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11208, No. 814; Source - http://www.cwc.lsu.edu/cwc/projects/dbases/cypress.htm
