James King of William
James King of William (1822–1856) was a crusading San Francisco, California, newspaper editor whose shooting death in 1856 resulted in the establishment of the second San Francisco Vigilance Committee and changed the politics of the city. King was among the first newspapermen to be honored by the California Journalism Hall of Fame.
==Family and education==
James King was born January 28, 1822, in the Georgetown district of Washington, D.C., the seventh and youngest son of William King, a native of Ireland.〔(John Long Wilson, ''Stanford University School of Medicine and the Predecessor Schools: An Historical Perspective,'' Chapter 11, "The Vigilance Committee of 1856" (1998–99) )〕 When he was age sixteen,〔(Rockwell D. Hunt, "California's Stately Hall of Fame" ''Los Angeles Times,'' June 4, 1939, page A-4 )〕 he began to style himself "James King of William," to distinguish himself from other James Kings in the area.〔(Donald H. Kagin, ''Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States,'' Arco Publishing (1981) )〕〔(''The Bay of San Francisco,'' Lewis Publishing Company, Volume 2, pages 637-38, transcribed by Jeanne Sturgis Taylor )〕
It was said that "He was an eager student, acquired a fair knowledge of Latin and English literature, and learned to speak French, Spanish and some German."〔
He was married in 1843 to Charlotte M. Libbey of Georgetown, and they had six children. In 1848 he departed for the Pacific Coast "to improve his prospects and establish a new home for his family," whom he left behind until 1851, when they joined him in California.〔〔
