Recently, on a research trip to Charleston, SC, I found Charleston City
 Directories for 1782-1829 and years after these dates.  I copied KING pages
 from the 1782-1829 Charleston City Directories, hoping for a lead to a
 possible KING family.  I'm searching for  Miss Mary E. PIERCE who married
 Peter Isaac GUERRY in 1840.  Miss Mary E. PIERCE was born about 1812,
 possibly around  SC; Census information says born in SC; d.
 1887).  I am looking for the ancestors of Miss Mary PIERCE.  From naming
 patterns within the PIERCE-GUERRY family, I have an intuitive hunch one of
 Miss Mary E. PIERCE's ancestors possibly could be a KING, since a son of
 Mary E. PIERCE and Peter Isaac GUERRY carried the given names of George
 King.

 I am posting this to SCROOTS-L, hoping someone will find a previously
 unfound KING ancestor among these KINGs in Charleston, SC.  I hope this
 posting helps Carol C-H who stimulated this posting with a search for
 KING?WOOD g2gparents (see snippet of posting below this list of Charleston,
 SC KINGs).
