It is possible that Mr. King received a land grant (bounty) because he was a soldier. I have a deed to land in Izard County transferring property to Francis Battles in 1854 that refers to this. I am a descendant of Opal Shell Battles. Thank you for the pictures of the cemetery!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276384624805754299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27240206.post-1147740966006096672010-01-22T15:40:51.692-06:002010-01-22T15:40:51.692-06:00Was the anchor used because New Orleans was a port...Was the anchor used because New Orleans was a port city?<br /><br />Jeffery Hodges<br /><br />* * *Horace Jeffery Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684513618463766017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27240206.post-65333446011213483382010-01-21T20:01:11.502-06:002010-01-21T20:01:11.502-06:00Cool, Jeffery!
