William Deal and his wife, Sarah Marinda Sinclair. They are my 3rd great grandparents. William is the son of John H. Deal and Lucretia Grass. Sarah is the daughter of Horatio Sinclair and Karten. Although I'm sure they were very sweet and loving people, I must admit that they are by far they scariest looking people in my family. :-)

	George and Maggie Deal a little later in life.
	John Sylvester King and his wife, Mary Adeline Deal. They are my 2nd great grandparents. John is the son of James MartinKing and Julia Ann Ellewick. It is passed down through the family that Grandma King had some sort of special healing powers. It's humorous the things that get passed down through the years. :-)

	Uncle Charlie King and Mabel King-Weber playin' their fiddles. Both were very talented musically and loved to get together to play. When Mabel was just a young girl she was already considered a musical prodigy. At a family get-together, Uncle Charlie got together with the band and told them what he was going to do. He stood up and "bad-mouthed" the band proclaiming that he was going to get someone who actually knew how to play. He then called my great grandmother, who was 5, to come up to the stage and play. She played with the band for the rest of the day. My Grandma says that she can still close her eyes and remember the beautiful music she would play on the piano. Charlie is the son of John S. King and Julia Ann Ellewick. Mabel is the daughter of John King and Mary Deal.
