Biographical History
Born in Scotland, Mitchell King arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1805. In 1806 King became an assistant teacher at the College of Charleston. Interested in studying law, King began studies at the office of George Warren Cross in 1807. King was temporarily appointed principal of the College of Charleston in 1810. King chose, however, to continue his study of law when he was offered the position permanently. Admitted to the bar in 1810, King immediately opened his own practice. He was elected recorder of Charleston and judge of the City Court in 1842 (resigning in 1844). King's son was Henry C. King.
Mitchell King, of Charleston, S.C., and Flat Rock, N.C., was a teacher, lawyer, and judge of the Charleston City Court. He owned property in Charleston, as well as land in Buncombe (later Henderson) County, N.C., and on the Savannah River, presumably in Chatham County, Ga. He was a member of Presbyterian and Episcopal churches and an active member of numerous civic and educational organizations.
