A tangle of Kings and Younkins in Somerset County, pa

Question

In trying to make profiles for the rest of John Christopher King's children, I have run into morass of Kings (Moses, John, Thomas) and Younkins (Barbara and Sarah, to start with), and I was wondering if anyone ever disentangled these families, or know of a website that has a researched, verified genealogy of either family? If I have to leave them for now, I will, but I'd really like to give them profiles, at least, without multiplying the errors that already exist (looking at you, ancestry.com). Thanks for any help.

eta: Brain fart - forgot to say that this is in the early 1800s, in Turkeyfoot Township, Bedford, then Somerset County, PA.

Answer 1

Saw a lot of King’s and Younkins on the History of Bedford and Somerset County source page, but none of these names.

Comments

I've looked through that several times for other family lines, and it does seem to focus on local notables of the late 1890s, Thank you for the idea, though - I'll go back through it and see if there are any other links. Several of both families went west after the Civil War, so maybe that is mentioned somewhere.

Remembered this line and just a note that I added a bunch of Younkins and will add more later today.  Mostly Armstrong and Westmoreland Counties.
