I do not know which county it is in, but it is most likely to be either Tipperary or Cork. Chris, I don't find any towns or townlands by the name of Kings in all of Ireland (although Co. Offaly was once known as King's County). In Co. Cork, there is a townland of Kingsland, Ballinaboy civil parish, about 2 miles NE of Ballinhassig and about 5 miles WNW of Carrigaline town.
