DUNN, KING posted by Michael Luck on Friday, April 3, 1998: I am searching for any information on John King a.k.a. "Jack". He lived in Montgomery Co. MD around 1927 (the year my father was born). He had a sister named Kitty, could be short for Kate or Katherine. She lived on Grant Ave. in Takoma Park. She may have married into a family by the last name of Dunn, and relocated to Virginia. He was the Fire Chief around that same time (1927) in Takoma Park MD. He is buried at St. John's Cemetary in Forest Glen, MD. I think. Any information would be most helpful. My father never knew his father or much about him. I'm only seeking info for geneaology purposes.
