I'm not sure about Find-a-Grave as a RS (I remember there has been some controversy over that), but this isn't a FA review, so I will AGF on sources (most of these I can't access anyway). jp×g 03:54, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- @JPxG and Orygun: The hook falls a bit flat for me, given how rich King's life was—maybe something like:
- ALT1: ... that despite being born in Danbury, Connecticut, William M. King became the third Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives?
- ALT2: ... that William M. King, who was born in Connecticut, lived and worked in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Missouri before becoming the third Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives?
