Aaron King Brick Wall

Profile manager: Savanna King [send private message]

This is a research page for figuring out who the heck Aaron King was. I will include any research I'm doing on him here for now because there are so many routes to go with this research that putting it all on his profile page doesn't make as much sense. I would love it if anyone else would like to collaborate on this!

Aaron married Eloise Bergeron, daughter of Charles Bergeron and Victoire Benoit, around 1826, probably in Terrebonne Parish. I believe on some church records Aaron is listed as Haron, but I have not yet been able to look at those myself. They had at least five children together:

Louisiane Elisa King, b, 29 Oct 1827

Henry Richard King, b. 5 Oct. 1829

Henry Georges King, b. 14 May 1832

Jean Thomas King, b. 1 June 1835

Elise King, b. 13 April 1839

The 1830 census is the only census record I'm sure is the right guy. There's one from 1810^[1] for an "Aran King" in Ouachita, Louisiana, with a household of four. Could be him, but not really sure. If it is him, he must have had a previous family (and probably was born a bit earlier than 1790), because he's the head of household on that census. There was a group of Kings in that area including Valentine King from Kentucky.

1830 Census^[2]:

Free White Persons - Males - 5 thru 9: 1 (probably Charles Hatch from Eloise's previous marriage to Silverus Hatch)

Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 14: 2 (probably John Rhodes and Jean Jacques Rhodes from Eloise's marriage with Thomas Rhodes - but need to do a bit more research because it's possible they're the same person)

Free White Persons - Males - 40 thru 49: 1 (Aaron King himself)

Free White Persons - Females - Under 5: 2 (Louisiane Elisa and UNKNOWN - possibly Henry Richard King accidentally counted as a female? or maybe they had more kids and some died)

Free White Persons - Females - 5 thru 9: 1 (have seen some evidence for a Marie Hatch but not sure)

Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 14: 1 (probably Celestina Rhodes from Eloise's previous marriage to Thomas Rhodes)

Free White Persons - Females - 30 thru 39: 1 (Eloise Bergeron)

Free White Persons - Females - 90 thru 99: 1 (UNKNOWN)

Free White Persons - Under 20: 7

Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 2

Total Free White Persons: 10

Total - All Persons (Free White, Slaves, Free Colored): 10

Even in this census record, there are a lot of unknowns and inconsistencies. Henry Richard should have been under 2 in 1830, but there are no males listed as being that young. He lists himself on later censuses as being born in 1830, but I think his birthday came from the church record of his baptism so it's probably accurate. Again, need to look at those records!

So where and when was Aaron King born?

In the 1880 census^[3], Aaron's song Henry Richard listed his father as being from New York. This is the only record I have that hints at Aaron King's origins. However, I have never found any birth record for him in New York or any other record I could definitively say was him. My great-uncle Gordon King did extensive genealogical research and even traveled to Canada working on that. I have the product of his research but not the sources, and he has Aaron King as being from England, as do many unsourced online trees. I give some weight to Gordon's claim because I know how detailed his research is, but it's still far from certain. Other trees online have Aaron as being from Louisiana, sometimes more specifically Donaldsonville. He's not listed in the Baton Rouge church records, though. I've searched for birth records in England and not found anything there either; all the Aaron Kings born in England at the right time that I've seen, I've ruled out as being this one for various reasons.

Sheriff's sale?

There's a newspaper article from 1856 in St. Landry Parish advertising a sheriff's sale for the estate of Aaron J King. It's unclear if he died or if this was just due to unpaid debts.^[4] I think it's probably the right guy, and if so, we have a middle initial. But I don't feel confident saying it's definitely him. Update: not the right guy. This is the son of William King and Anna Flanagan. Waiting to hear back on what one of their King line descendant's haplogroup is.

update: not the same guy but I have a descendant of this branch whose Y test is pending

I've been doing some research recently into Kings in St Landry Parish and there were a good few. There are also a lot of Roys, some of whom seemed to have possibly anglicized their name. I need to do more research to confirm that. But I also read that there was a group of Roy's in the same group that came with Charles Bergeron (Joseph Broussards group). I think these were the St Landry ones. Need to organize thoughts around that.

This site references an Aaron J King who was too young to be our Aaron King. (born 1826).^[5] However, maybe he is related to this family. This site has that Aaron dying in 1865, so the sheriff's sale may or may not have been him as it was ten years earlier. He would have been 33. Might try to get court records about that suit. It was in state court, need to contact St. Landry Parish clerk.

The only other records I've found that I'm fairly certain relate to this Aaron King:

From the Terrebonne Genealogical Society Records website^[6], Aaron appears to have witnessed the signing of these conveyance documents:

No. 325 Power of Attorney dated December 16, 1825. James BOWIE of the Parish of Rapides, gave power of attorney to Lemuel TANNER. Witnessed by Edmond HOGAN and Aaron KING.

This record is very intriguing to me because it's THAT James Bowie. Of Alamo and Bowie knife fame. Bowie was involved in a lot of land schemes in this area around that time - falsifying Spanish land grant documents then selling land he didn't own, etc. He was also involved in slave smuggling, where he would buy illegally imported slaves from someone like the pirate Jean Lafitte, turn them in to authorities, collect the reward for that, then buy the slaves back at auction and resell them for a profit. Lemuel Tanner was a big landowner in the area. I don't know too much about Edmond Hogan, yet.

Some of these men were involved in the War of 1812. Bowie enlisted, but didn't get there until the war had ended. Lemuel Tanner was a first lieutenant in the 7 Reg't. (Le Beuf's), La. Militia.^[7] There's a record^[8] of an Aaron King, born in 1790, from Massachusetts who appears to have enlisted, deserted, returned, then deserted again. There were several other Aaron Kings in New England during this time, though, so it very well may not be the right one.^[9]

Edmond Hogan seems to have been an Irish immigrant^[10][11] who lived in New Orleans. I need to do more research to confirm this is the right person, though. There are some court records from the right time in Louisiana relating to Hogan's succession^[12][13][14] It seems there were issues with his succession, and one of the documents specifically mentions Bowie's land dealings. Maybe he was a victim of one of the land schemes or otherwise involved.

No. 632 1/99 On June 30, 1828 Marie Magdelaine GUIDRY, wife of Charles BENOIT, declared that they have received everything of the deceased H. S. THIBODAUX [presumably this is Henry Schuyler Thibodaux], before his death, except the sum $119.86, her part of the succession of her deceased father Pierre GUIDRY. Witnessed by Ase. DUGAS and Aaron KING.

No. 720 3/462 On November 15, 1828 Norbert BONVILLAIN declared that he has sold, cede, delivered and in fact, he hereby sells, cedes, and delivers to Dr. D. D. DOWNING, of Port Gibson Mississippi to wit; a piece of land, situated in Terrebonne Parish, about 8 miles from Bayou Lafourche, containing 2 arpens front on each side of Bayou Terrebonne, with depth as the concession or survey calls for, bounded above by land Mrs. Henry S. THIBODAUX sold to Dr. D. D. DOWNING and below by land previously owned by Dr. D. D. DOWNING, this sale for $600.00. Witnessed by Aaron KING and Ambroise DUGAS.

Possible Natchez connection?

My research on Nettie's family was wrong - she was in fact William Hoffman Jr's second cousin, descended through Aaron's son Jean Thomas and Felicite Bonvillain. (Not H.S. Thibodaux's wife... another one.)

However, I still think there is probably something to the Natchez connection because Richard King Jr and his brother Caleb had business in Terrebonne, owned the same land my King ancestors lived on for generations, etc. Surely not coincidental??

Or maybe he was from Nova Scotia after all...

I have learned from communicating with other people on forums that there were Kings in Canada at the same time as/with the Acadians and that King can actually be a French surname, even without having been anglicized to e.g. Roi/Roy. I would think that if this was the case, there'd be records, but who knows? Needs more research.

Other miscellaneous notes

It is interesting to me that Eloise Bergeron appears to have married at least 3 non-Acadian men, which is not really common at all anywhere in my Acadian/Cajun research. Also, at least one of her husbands apparently didn't die before she remarried (Thomas Rhodes just abandoned his family and started a new one in Alabama - see his profile on Wikitree for more info there). I don't have a death record for Aaron King either, so did he do the same? I almost never see marriages ending or remarriages without the death of one spouse. Could he have joined the military or gone with Bowie to Texas? (I did look at a list of people involved in the Battle of the Alamo - no likely suspects there, but there's definitely more to dig into there.)

There was a Richard King who was older than Henry Richard and lived in Catahoula Parish in 1830. He is listed as head of household on a census record, so it's not Aaron's son. Seems likely to be the Richard King also listed in several of the conveyance records below. Dude owned a LOT of land and at least 60 slaves in 1860. I found a letter that seemed to be related to whether he was allowed to keep orphaned former slave children as 'apprentices' after the Civil War. Seems sketchy, but also there apparently wasn't anywhere else for them to go either. Not sure how that worked out. There's also a William King from Claiborne County, Mississippi, in several of these records. They were brothers (confirmed in their other brother, Samuel King's will) and the sons of Richard King, the one who owned King's Tavern in Natchez. Below are all the conveyance records I found that seem related to any of the relevant people. These are only Terrebonne, but I also have a giant list of Catahoula Parish conveyances where the same people are often mentioned. (Richard, not Aaron)

There is a VALENTINE KING in Opelousas in the early 1800s. He is from Kentucky (like James Bowie). Need to look into his family in Louisiana more.

No. 571 236-237 On March 14, 1828 Stephen BOWIE [Jim Bowie's brother] sold land to William KING, of Claiborne County, Missippi [this one seems to likely be related to the Natchez Kings based on the MS County] to wit; land being on west side of Bayou Grand Caillou, 500 superficial arpens, measured from the upper line of tract acquired from Joseph TALBO, down 40 arpens for $1500.00.

Witnessed by Robert OGDEN, Sam SORTOR and George S. GUION, Judge and Notary Public.

No. 746 3/481 On December 22, 1828 James BOWIE exchanged land with Edmond HOGAN.

I also saw some record from court case files in Arkansas for an Aaron King. He seemed like he may have been a bit too old to be this Aaron King, but it wasn't really clear.

1 Jun 1887^[15], Sylvester Willliams and Aaron King a.k.a. Aaron Nix are charged with larceny related to a horse worth $25 that belonged to "Thomas McColgan, a white man and not an Indian." Aaron is also charged with receiving stolen property, but that was apparently dropped when they were both found guilty of larceny (?)

Aug 1887?^[16], Aaron King a.k.a. Aaron Nix again. Larceny again. Another horse? Sylvester is involved in this one too. It's not clear if this is a separate case or the same one - the dates are weird. But it seems like Aaron got arrested for stealing a horse and then dragged Sylvester into it by saying Sylvester sold it to him. A letter in this file written by what appears to be a Native American that he sold the stolen horse to mentions he's a 'freedman' and considered a 'notorious horse stealer and outlaw and at present wanted in both Seminole and Creek Nation'. (Makes me wonder what he was doing buying a horse from him then, but hey.) The stuff from the case above is included here as well, but I think there were two horses stolen.

12 Mar 1889^[17], Aaron is accused of stealing a pistol and scabbard worth altogether $12 from a Price McLaughlin in the Creek Nation (Indian Territory). He is again charged with (common) larceny. It doesn't seem like he was convicted, although he was arrested and jailed over it.

Okay, that was a fun rabbit hole but I really don't think it's the same dude, because this all happened when our Aaron would have been about 80. But you never know, it could be his son or other relative... haha.

This site ^[18] mentions Bowie having run land schemes in Arkansas, too, so...

Bowie saw an opportunity and began to personally forge Spanish land grants of prime properties in several parts of the state. He then boldly manufactured deeds of sale of the grants to himself. The scale of the ruse was astounding, as he claimed up to 80,000 acres in Louisiana and almost as much again in Arkansas.

Eloise Bergeron

Daughter of Charles Bergeron and Victoire Benoit. Born 11 Oct 1794, baptized May 3 1795 in Plattenville, Louisiana.^[19]

First spouse, Thomas Rhodes, Eloise's first of many husbands. Married 11 Apr 1812 in Terrebonne Parish. This information is pulled from unsourced Ancestry documents, but it's interesting nevertheless.

"In this book, this Thomas is referred to as Thomas #1. Thomas was the first Rhodes to come to what is now Terrebonne Parish, La.. He came and left before Lafourche Interior (Parish) was split to create Terrebonne Parish in 1822. When the government made the Louisiana Purchase with France in 1803 they sent men to the area to check on the landowners. They had to visit each landowner to find the exact boundries of thier land and record this information and report it to the government. Thomas was commisioned as a deputy surveyor in 1812. He was bonded for $2000. signed by Henry Schuyler Thibodeaux (acting govorner and otherwise Leutinent Govorner and resident of Terrebonne Parish). Thomas lived near historic Halfway Cemetery not far from Charles Bergeron, who had a Spanish Grant in that area. Records show, in 1815, that Thomas sold his plantation on Bayou D'Arbonne (Terrebonne) to Lemuel Tanner. The plantation was located just about where H. L. Bourgeois High School (Houma, La.) is today. His neighbor on one side was Charles Bergeron and on the other side was Henry Schyler Thibodeaux. Thomas married Heloise, Charles' daughter. When Thomas sold his plantation in 1815, that was the end of his job as a surveyor. It was also the year of the Battle of New Orleans (Jan. 8) As far as anyone can tell, Thomas came here from Alabama."

"Thomas Rhodes came at the turn of the 18th century as a surveyor and married Heloise Bergeron and had a son Jackson (Jack) Rhodes who married Henerietta Hebert and was the first Rhodes on record to own land. He settled 1/4 mile below Bush Canal (located below Madison Canal)"

What did he do after selling his plantation? Where did he go? What about Eloise and the kids? She didn't remarry (that I know of) until around 1821, to Silverus Hatch, with whom she had at least one child, Charles Hatch, in 1822. Husband died in 1823.

I have answered the above: he got another job surveying out in Alabama and met a hot young daughter of a rich planter and decided he would just stay and start a whole new family. Eventually they lived in Mobile, then later Jackson County, Mississippi (Pascagoula area) until their deaths. Have sources on his profile, will add here probably when I can.

Next up was Aaron King, married by 1827 when they had their first kid. Last kid was born 1839 or 1840.

By 1850 she's with Jean Bessie. As far as I can tell, no kids with him.

1850 Census:

Jean Besse, 60, Teacher, Birthplace: France

Eloise Besse, 52, Birthplace: Louisiana

Charles Hatch, 26, Labourer, Birthplace: Louisiana

Marie M. Hatch, 26, Louisiana

Thomas King, 24, Labourer, Louisiana

Louisiane King, 23, Louisiana - so born 1827

Georges H.King, 47, Louisiana

Pauline Chiasson F 13 Louisiana (who is this??)

Somewhat interesting side note, Eloise's sister Adelaide married Henry Schuyler Thibodaux's son Leander Baron. When Adelaide died he (according to his Wikitree profile) remarried to Josephine Bonvillain, his first cousin.

Land conveyance records mentioning Eloise:

No. 329 2/252 On December 24, 1825 Eloise BERGERON sold to Antoine CALVET, land siturate in this Parish, containing 2 arpens front on left bank of Bayou Terrebonne, by depth certificate of confirmation calls for, bounded above by land of Henry S. THIBODAUX and below by land of Eloise BERGERON. Witnessed by Lemuel TANNER and L. B. THIBODAUX.

No. 32 Pg. 60 On August 71 1822 Auguste BERNOU sold 3 Arpens of land to Narcisse MARCELLE and wife Marianne LEBOEUF fronting on leftbank of Bayou Terrebonne acquired this date at Public Sale bounded above by land of Henry S. THIBODAUX and below by land of Heloise BERGERON wife of RHODES. Witnessed by Caleb B. WATKINS and Aaron HAINS.

NOTE: Aaron Hains lived in the literal exact same census spot (same neighbors on either side) as Aaron King in 1820. I haven't been able to connect them, although son Bernard Edward Haines witnessed several King marriages

Y DNA

I got my dad's Y test back and his haplogroup is I-M253. He has an exact match on 111 markers who has traced his ancestry back to Henry Clay King who lived in Texas and later Wisconsin. Need to research that family and see if I can find any connections. Also need to learn more about how to effectively use Y DNA results.

Valentine King from Kentucky?

Richard H King Jr owned the same land that was around Ashland Plantation in Houma and where Charles Bergeron and Eloise & Aaron lived. Surely this is not a coincidence but I can't find a way to link Aaron to that family! also of interest; Richard Jr's dad was from New York. Aaron's firstborn son was named Richard. ???? (Henry Richard but went by middle name). Richard Jr's middle name seems to have started with H. They're not the same person because Richard Jr. was too old to be Aaron's son, but it makes me wonder...

acadiansingray.com says this about Charles Bergeron and Victoire Benoit's daughters:

Their daughters married into the Crochet, Himmel, Rhodes, and Thibodaux (French Canadian, not Acadian) families

Interesting!! I keep seeing matches that indicate French Canadian on my dad's side, or New England, or Quebec, etc. He has a genetic group for it even on MyHeritage. Was Aaron King also French Canadian?
