Subject: Anyone have information that connects the King, Gunn, and Lowrey families??

I need help here, but I think somehow all these families are going to be
connected. I'm a KING descendant and I've been searching for 10 years now,
and after looking and looking at census records I have come to an assumption
that these families are related in the following ways.

At this point I'm assuming this is my King family, because of census
evidence and the vincinity of them living in the same place (next door to
the Gunn family) in W. Finley Twp., Washington Co., Pennsylvania area.
There is no Richard or George King in the census records for Washington Co.,
in 1820, and that goes along with James King's obituary stating that his
father George King had come to Pennsylvania from Maryland in the early
1820's.

1830 census shows Marcus Gunn, John Gunn, Aron Gunn, and Richard King.
1840 census shows Marcus Gunn, John Gunn, and George King (listed on this
census is a women living with George King, about the age of the Elizabeth in
the next census with Marcus Gunn).
1850 census shows Marcus Gunn (married to Eliza), with an Elizabeth King b.
1767 Maryland and next door is George Kings family. I'm assuming Elizabeth
was Marcus Gunns mother-in-law, and also the mother of George King.

I also believe that John King b. abt. 1803 Maryland was George's brother as
in 1870 he is living with George's son, James King (my gg-grandfather). In
1880, this John King is living with the Marcus Lowery family (who I think is
the grandson of Marcus Gunn) in W. Finley Twp.

In the 1860 census for Marshall Co., W. Virginia Marcus & Eliza Gunn are
living, and a family of James Lowrey and Elizabeth are listed with them. So
I'm assuming that Elizabeth was the daughter of Marcus Gunn.

Any help is really appreciated!
