Was King James version translated from the original bible manuscripts?

The Bible was written over a period of at least 14 centuries, and it's doubtful that "the original manuscript" for, say, the Pentateuch even still existed by the time the New Testament was being written, let alone by the time the King James translation was started. Bottom line: no, it wasn't. It was, however, translated from what were believed to be valid copies (of copies of copies of copies ...) of the original manuscripts. In other words, the Authorized Version was translated from what was purportedly the original Hebrew (and Greek, in the case of the New Testament), it wasn't translated into some other language, then some other language, then some other language, etc, finally winding up in English.
