SPECULATIVE:

I am basing the link of Ailey to Richard on circumstantial evidence. After the death of Wilson HADAWAY, his widow Ailey moved in between Rodicie King HADAWAY (wife of Amos, her dead husband's brother) and Richard King (father of Rodicie).

REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY OF WAR IN RELATION TO THE PENSION ESTABLISHMENT OF THE UNITED STATES 1835

COPIED AND INDEXED BY WILLIAM R. NAVEY P. O. BOX 251 HOLLY RIDGE, NC 28445-0251

RICHARD KING TALIAFERRO COUNTY PRIVATE NORTH CAROLINA MILITIA $35.66 ANNUAL ALLOWANCE $106.98 AMOUNT RECEIVED MARCH 18, 1833 PENSION STARTED AGE 77

=============

If this 1796 marriage date is correct (as well as their respective birthdates), then Richard was 39 and Rachel was 19 when they wed. If so, then Richard must have certainly had more children than Ailey with his first wife, Rebecca MARTIN.

=============

I have found no record of a Will for Richard in Taliaferro Co, GA. His second wife, Rachel, does have a will, but the children are not named.

Richard King, son of Drury King, enlisted in 1775 as a substitute for his father as a private in Captain Williams' South Carolina company in the Revolutionary War and served three months. Later he served in Captain Davis' company. He then moved to Wayne County, North Carolina, and served 3 months in Col. Farmer's North Carolina regiment and was in the battle of Eutaw Springs. He also was in guard duty at Hillsboro, North Carolina. He moved to Wilkes County, GA before 1790 and lived in Taliaferro Co. until his death in 1853 at the age of 96 ! ..... In 1833, he started drawing a pension of $35.66 annually for his service as a private in the Rev. War.
