Groat. No issue. Mr. King resides at Bainbridge, Broome Co.,
N. Y. Soon after Judson King's father came from Connecticut,
over one hundred years ago, he bought a tract of land about
ten miles north of the little town of Deposit, Broome County,
N. Y., where he had found a spring of good water, built a log
house and began . clearing the land which was in the midst of
a thick forest. "Every night," writes Mr. Judson King, "my
father could hear the panthers screaming in the forest, and I
have heard my mother say that in winter the wolves were so
bold that they would come at night and put their paws upon the
window sills and look into the house so that she often took a
brand of fire and flung it at them to scare them away." This is
the old homestead upon which Addison King now lives and the
spring is still running. It was on this homestead that Judson
King grew to useful manhood.
