Charles Ray King (March 16, 1813 – April 5, 1901)[1] was an American physician, farmer and author. He was the second child of John A. King, Governor of New York from 1857 to 1858, and grandson of Constitution signer Rufus King. He authored the book The Life and Correspondence of Rufus King and founded King Library in Andalusia, Pennsylvania.[2] Some sources incorrectly state Charles Ray King's name as Charles Rufus King.[3]
