  'Mrs. Lydia King.  This lady, who is the widow of Benjamin Howard King, is the
  daughter of Avery and Lydia Proctor Moulton, whose nativity was, the former,
  Amesbury, Massachusetts, and the latter Kingston, New Hampshire.  Mrs. King
  was born in London, New Hampshire, in May, 1794.  Her parents removed to
  Stanstead, where her father died in 1828.  The mother came to Ohio, and died in
  Conneaut, November, 1865.  The education of Mrs. King was acquired at
  Stanstead; she was married in 1818, and her husband died in 1852 and left her
  on a farm, but having no heirs, the property reverted to her husband's brothers.
   She, however, bought them out, and eventually sold the farm to the late D.C.
  Allen.  Mrs. King is a very worthy woman, and has been a member of the
  Christian Church for more than fifty-five years."
