Basic genealogy info: KING, DAVID S., of Wilmington, was born in Liberty Township, Clinton County, Ohio, February lst, 1822. His maternal grandfather was a soldier in the Revolution, and received a pension from the Government. ... While teaching, he availed himself of every opportunity to acquire a knowledge of dentistry, but, having married, he abandoned the idea of entering upon that profession and turned his entire attention to agricultural pursuits, as it would bring in a more immediate income, and in 1849 moved to his farm situated in Clinton County. While thus supporting himself and his aged mother, he gained a knowledge of the details of public life'to some extent, and acquired as well methodical and diligent habits, which proved serviceable to him in the various offices which he subsequently was called upon to fill. In the Spring of 1850 he was elected Township Assessor of personal property, and twice successively re-elected to the same office. In 1854 he was elected justice of the Peace of the same township, in which position he acceptably served for three years, and was re-elected to the same office in the Spring of I857. ... While Judge King has been actively engaged in political matters, and has frequently taken part in important campaigns, he has never allowed politics to interfere with the imperative duties of his farm life. His greatest ambition has been to become a successful farmer and stock-raiser, and to this end the chief labor of his life has been devoted. His farm contains 325 acres, and is largely composed of rich black soil, well underdrained with tile, and is in the highest state of cultivation, producing the finest blue grass and abundant crops of all kinds of grain. For the past thirty years Mr. King has paid particular attention to the improvement of his stock by the introduction of the Loudon Duchess blood. The result has been the production of a superior breed of short-horn cattle, many of which have been on exhibition at our county and union fairs of Southern Ohio, and have attracted much attention.
