LifeSketch: Walter King was born on 16 November 1767 to Joseph King and Dradon Johnson King in Newport, Charles, Maryland. Catherine Waters King lived in Port Tabacco, Maryland on the Potamic River, opposite Mount Vernon, where their first son, James Johnson King was born on 8 December 1799, the same day that George Washington was buried. Though King was of English descent, he was a loyal patriot. In Washington's second administration, in 1794, a federal tax on whisky cause a whisky rebellion in western Pennsylvania. President Washington proceeded in person to suppress the rebellion and organized a military force of which Walter was a member. On learning of Washingon's approach, the rebellion subsided, and he had the satisfaction of giving his troops a farewell review at Uniontown, Pennsylvania, instead of fighting his fellow citizens. August 1814, when Walter was 15, he witnessed the shelling of Washington City and the burning of the capitol by the British. The impression of that scene never left his mind. were staunch Episcopalians and very hostile to the Methodists, yet he became a zealous member of the Methodist Church and his house served as a preaching place for thirty years thereafer. He was a man of strong religious convictions and had the reverent habit of calling his farmhands together at the entrance of the field before beginning to plant any crop, for a brief religious service in which he would invoke the divine blessing upon their labor.
