Nathaniel may be been born in Virginia as some sources list him (Dee Lansford).

In 1804 Nathaniel King and his family migrated to Tennessee from South Carolina. Nathaniel King with his wife, two sons and one daughter stayed for a few years in McMinn County, Tennessee. They were listed in the 1830 Federal Census there. The children settled in the Middle Creek and Wears Cove areas of Sevier County, Tennessee. They were listed in the 1830 Federal Census there.

Nathaniel King has an entry for 100 acres of land on the waters of Middle Creek in the Sevier County, Tennessee. This could, however, be his son Nathanial as he was married that year. Further evidence suggesting such is that the land bordered his son William's property and was witnessed by his two sons.

In surveyor's Book No. 1 dated in 1834 is the following:

"State of Tennessee) "By virtue of Entry No. 1000 dated 7 day of March 1834
Sevier County )

"I have surveyed for Nathaniel King one hundred acres of land in said county lying joining the lands of Philip Roberts Sen
