Son of John Butler King, born St. Simon's Island, Georgia, on April 20, 1842. Educated at Russell School in New Haven, Ct., and Bartlett's College Hill School in Poughkeepsie, NY, the Military Institute of Georgia and the University of Virginia. This makes me think his family was rich.
Served in the Army of Northern Virginia, eventually rising to the ran of colonel in the artillery.
After the war, he became a U.S. representative from Louisiana and died May 8, 1915, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in the Confederate Section.
