James W. King
James Wood King (August 13, 1842 – October 9, 1903) was a soldier, carpetbagger, and newspaper editor from the state of Michigan who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was nominated for the Medal of Honor for committing acts of conspicuous gallantry at the Battle of Missionary Ridge.

King was born in Fabius Township, Michigan. He was the sixth of eight children of Benjamin Montaigne and Martha (Wetherbee) King. Martha King passed away in 1846, and Benjamin remarried to Eliza Van Buren, a cousin of U.S. president Martin Van Buren and descendant of John Jay.〔Three of James King's siblings did not survive infancy. Faust, ''Conspicuous Gallantry'', 8-9; ''Portrait and Biographical Album'', 266; Silliman, ''St. Joseph in Homespun'', 129-30.〕
King grew up working on his father's farm. In late 1860, he fell in love with Sarah Jane Babcock, a fellow student at the local district school. She was a daughter of Darius Ambrose and Ruth (Butler) Babcock, both of whom had ancestors in the Connecticut House of Representatives during the Revolution. King and Babcock’s young romance was interrupted when the Civil War broke out and King enlisted in the 11th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment, mustering in on August 24, 1861.〔Faust, ''Conspicuous Gallantry'', 9.〕
