George Harrison Sanford King (1914-1985), a native and lifelong resident of Fredericksburg, began his genealogical searches at an early age. Soon after graduation from high school he could be found in libraries, archives, and clerks' officies extracting from their holdings factual evidence to substantiate and prove family lineages, particularly in the Northern Neck of Virginia and adjacent areas. Throughout his life his services were in great demand not only as a genealogist but as a consultant on local history matters; he corresponded with people from all over the United States. The bulk of his papers, consisting of approximately 125,000 pieces, was generated as a result of this activity. While he lived he was considered Virginia's premier genealogist. A number of books and articles issued from the presses under his name. He was active as a member and officer in many history-related and patriotic organizations including Order of the Crown, Order of the First Families of Virginia, American Society of Genealogists, and James Monroe Memorial Foundation, and also he held several appointive local officies.
Mr. King's original arrangement of the papers has been little disturbed -- separate sections sorted and foldered by family names and subjects comprise the bulk of the collection. A miscellaneous section for King George County abstracts of wills, list of fugitive wills, selected autographs, and poetry; and a card file for names of individuals, places, and events make up the final sections of the collection.
These papers along with an extensive collection of printed genealogies were presented to the Virginia Historical Society by Francis M. King of Fredericksburg on 18 December 1985.
