==Early life==
On January 18, 1841, King was born in Ambrosden, a village near Bicester in the Cherwell District of north-eastern Oxfordshire in England. He was the youngest of three children of Edward King and Louisa Freeman. His sister was Stella Louisa Elizabeth King (born 1838) and brother was Claudius Edward Richard King (born 1839). His father was a doctor interested in the colonization of Africa. He was named Africanus "because of his father's admiration" for that continent.〔Kunhardt. ''Twenty Days'', p. 45〕 He attended Maley's School and the Bicester Diocesan School.
His family left Liverpool on Thursday 26 August 1854 to emigrate to the United States. They arrived in Jersey City, New Jersey, on 7 September 1854 (but some records indicate 1851) and first settled in Alexandria, Virginia. In 1855, they moved to Bushy Bridges, Prince William County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://boards.ancestrylibrary.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=4332&p=surnames.king )〕
