Richard King was a farmer, merchant and the largest exporter of lumber from the district of Maine. Rufus King received his elementary education in the schools of Scarborough; was sent to Byfield academy in Newburyport in 1769, and was graduated from Harvard college in 1777. He studied law in Newburyport under Theophilus Parsons; was appointed aide-de-camp to General Sullivan in the Rhode Island campaign of 1778, and upon its unsuccessful termination he resumed his studies. He was admitted to the bar in 1780, and soon built up a large practice. He was a representative in the Massachusetts legislature in 1782, and a delegate to the Continental congress, 1784-87, and introduced the anti-slavery bill before the latter body in March, 1785. He was appointed by the Massachusetts legislature one of the deputies to the Philadelphia convention of May 25, 1787, to revise the articles of confederation, and when the question of the adoption of the revision was submitted to the states he was sent to the Massachusetts convention, and by his familiarity with the provisions of the instrument and clear explanation of them, contributed greatly to its final adoption. He was married, in 1786, to Mary, daughter of John Alsop, a wealthy New York merchant and a deputy from that city to the first Continental congress, 1774-76, and retiring from the practice of the law he removed to New York city in 1788. He was chosen a member of the New York assembly in 1789, but before he had an opportunity to serve on any committee in that body be was elected, with Philip Schuyler, a U.S. senator, and he drew the long term, to expire March 3, 1795. The senate at that time sat with closed doors, and except in the journals no reports of the proceedings are to be found, and it was not until 1794 that a motion to make the proceedings public was carried. Mr. King was an advocate of the Jay treaty with Great Britain in 1794, and when he was prevented from explaining the provisions of that act to the people at a public meeting, he published, in connection with General Hamilton, who had also been refused a hearing, a series of explanatory papers under the pen-name "Camillus." He was re-elected to the U.S. senate in 1795, and resigned in 1796, when appointed by President Washington U.S. minister to England. He was at the court of St. James until 1803, when he was relieved at his own request, and on his return to the United States removed to Jamaica, L.I., where he interested himself in agriculture. He was the Federalist candidate for Vice-President in 1894, when he received fourteen electoral votes, and again in 1808, when he received forty-seven electoral votes. In 1813 he was again elected to the U.S. senate. He was opposed to the war of 1812, but when it was declared he gave the government his support. He was nominated for governor of New York in 1815, but was defeated by Daniel D. Tompkins. He was nominated by the Federalists for the Presidency in 1816, in opposition to James Monroe, and he received thirty-four electoral votes. While in the senate he opposed the establishment of a national bank, contributed largely to the passage of the navigation act of 1818 and introduced and carried a bill providing that the public lands should be sold for cash at a lower price than had been the custom. He was again elected to the U.S. senate in 1819, where he opposed the admission of Missouri as a slave state and objected to any compromise as calculated to breed future trouble. He recorded a resolution in the senate stating that the proceeds of all sales of public lands, after payment of the public debt for which they were pledged, should be held as a fund to be used to aid in the emancipation of slaves and for their removal to any territory beyond the limits of the United States. He was appointed U.S. minister to Great Britain by President John Quincy Adams in 1825, but failing health caused his early retirement in 1896. He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a corresponding member of the Massachusetts Historical society. He received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Dartmouth college in 1802, from Williams college in 1803, from Harvard college in 1806 and from the University of Pennsylvania in 1815. He was survived by five sons: John Aslop, afterward governor of New York; Charles, president of Columbia college; James Gore, representative in congress from New York; Edward, and Frederick Gore. He died in New York city, April 29, 1827. ___________________ The Twentieth Century Biographical Dictionary of Notable Americans: Volume VI KING, Rufus, soldier, was born in New York city, Jan. 26, 1814; son of Charles and Eliza (Gracie) King, and grandson of Rufus and Mary (Alsop) King and of Archibald Gracie.

His father, James Gore King, was a notable banker, who, born May 8, 1791, in New York city, dying in Weehawken, N.J., Oct. 3, 1853, was the third son of Rufus King, eminent as a statesman, member of the convention which drafted the Constitution, and United States Senator from New York, and of Mary Alsop, his wife. Well educated, first in England and France, James Gore King graduated from Harvard College in 1810, studied law and during the War of 1812 served as assistant Adjutant General. In 1815, he founded the commission house of James G. King & Co., which was so favored by fortune and the energy of the senior partner that it sprang speedily into prosperity. In 1818, Mr. King moved to Liverpool and established the English house of King & Gracie, in partnership with Archibald Gracie. Returning to New York in 1824, he declined John Jacob Astor's offer of the presidency of The American Fur Co., and entered the bank of Prime, Ward, Sands, King & Co., which in 1826 became Prime, Ward & King, and in 1847 James G. King & Sons. He was sound, prudent and successful, and in 1837 his bank was quoted as one of the few strong concerns of that terrible year. Mr. King was active in promoting the construction of the Erie Railroad, and served as president without compensation. In 1837, he performed a public service by visiting England and obtaining an advance of £1,000,000 in gold from The Bank of England upon the guarantee of the Barings, which being transmitted to this city in coin, enabled the banks of New York to resume specie payments. Mr. King married, Feb. 4, 1813, Sarah Rogers Gracie, daughter of Archibald Gracie, one of the most eminent merchants of his time. There were born to them Caroline, who married Denning Duer; Harriet, who married George Wilkes, M.D.; James Gore and Archibald Gracie King; Mary, who married Edgar H. Richards; Frederick Gore and Edward King, and Fanny, wife of James L. McLane. Mr. King dwelt during the latter part of his life in Weehawken, and was sent thence to Congress in 1849. He was a member of the New York Chamber of Commerce after 1817 and its president 1841-48, and president of The Institution for the Savings of Merchants' Clerks, 1848-50. Archibald Gracie King was educated in America and at the school of Herr yon Fellenberg at Hofwyl, near Berne, Switzerland, and graduated from Harvard University in 1840 with honors. First, clerk in the banking house of Prime, Ward & King, in 1844 he was admitted to partnership. He has since risen to the head of the house, which has been known since 1853 as James G. King's Sons. Mr. King is a capable, clear-headed and sound business man. He was elected a trustee of The Institution for the Savings of Merchants' Clerks in 1861, treasurer in 1865 and president in 1873, resigning his connection with the bank in 1881, in consequence of his removal to New Jersey, the laws of New York requiring trustees of savings banks to be residents of New York. He is a trustee in The Metropolitan Trust Co. In 1845, he married Elizabeth, daughter of William A. Duer, and their children are May D., wife of John King van Rensselaer; Sara Gracie, wife of Frederic Bronson and Frederick Gore King.
