William R. King
Reviewing Rev. B.F. Riley's early 1881 book, History of Conecuh Co., AL
Riley states that William R. King and Mark B. Travis, Jr. (younger brother of William Barrett Travis - defender of the Alamo) were two patriots from Conecuh that enlisted in the military and both served in Mexico. According to 'records of soldiers serving in the Mexican-American War', both Lt. William R. King and Pvt. Mark B. Travis were mentioned, Lt. King as being killed (or died of disease) in May 1848 and Pvt.Travis as being wounded at the Battle of Churubusco in August 1847.
