I have a John King born 1813 and married to a Rachel Haller. John dies in Bedford They had these children Philip, Rebekah, Daniel, Hannah, Rachel, and Mary Elizabeth, Susanah, William and James were born after 1850. John(1813) is the son of John King and Mary Baker. I have lots of information on that family but I don't think this is your line. I will cheek in my data base to see if there are any other John's with those children. There are lots of John Kings. Good Luck, Cathy

Hi Nancy I haven't seen the book you mention, but am reasonably certain that my verified 3rd ggf, William Isaac King, 27 November 1796 in Sullivan County TN to 16 August 1868 in Rhea County TN, was son of the Thomas King, 1754 to 1847, mentioned in the book. In the (admittedly limited) info that I have on this family, none of your names/dates seem to work & I don't see anything about Scott, Hancock or Claiborne Counties. There were a bunch of Kings in Sullivan County TN as early as late 1770s, so it's very possible that one or more moved up to Scott and then over to Claiborne (which Hancock was formed from), from Sullivan.

Hi! King researchers: I am still on the search for the parents of my William KING (b. 1779) who ended up moving from Scott County Virginia to Hancock and Claiborne County, TN. One researcher says my William comes from this line: 1. Edward KING (1720s-1790s) Lancaster County, PA m. Elizabeth NICHOLS 2. William KING (1752-1840) m. Elizabeth SHARP 3. William KING (b.1779-1865) m. Sarah GARNER This is really interesting -- but confusing to say the least. Some folks say Burwell KING, Thomas Murray KING and William Kirby KING all come from this line of Edward and Elizabeth NICHOLS. None, however, except one, has my William in this line. I know my William, born 1779, isn't the William Kirby KING - doesn't fit any of my history. And, I can't get a link to the Burwell KING either. HELP!! One great clue might come from a book I found on WorkdCat. For those who are in this Edward KING line, this might help you -- or others - but my question is: If anyone has seen this book - or can see it in the library - could you do a look-up for me? Please?

Thank you, Ron Brennan

I need help with teh origins of Anne Collins, wife of Thomas King, an early settler of WAtertown, Sudbury, and Marlborough, Massachusetts. Below is what I have on both Anne Collins and Thomas King; both contain confused information. -------------------------------------------- Born: ABT. 1608 at: England Died: 24 Nov 1642 at: Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts Father: Mother: Spouses: Thomas King Notes: [NI16212] [NI16210] Thomas King came to America in 1635 at age 31 on the ship Blessing, arriving August at Boston, with a sister Susan, aged 32. Listed as "of Cold Norton, Essex", bound for Scituate. He went first to Watertown and some three years later moved to the new settlement at Sudbury. He was one of the thirteen petitioners in 1656 for the Whipsuppenicke Plantation, which was incorporated as "Marlborow" on May 31, 1660, when he was chosen one of the seven members of the first board of selectmen of which Edmund was the chairman. Little is known of his first wife Anne, save that she died at Sudbury, 1642. He was married, second, at Sudbury on Dec. 26, 1655, to Bridget, widow of Robert Davis. She died at Marborough on March 11, 1685. There is no record of the death of Thomas King in Sudbury or Marlborough but his will signed at Marlborough 12.1.1675 and proved 20.4.16176, shows the approximate time of his death. As he added a codicil on the 15th day of the first mo. 1676. The inventory taken 24.1.1676 totalled £295.10.00, with houses and lands in Marlborough at £200 and lands in Sudbury at £60. In it he mentions "Ann Carly, Mary Rice and Sarah Jocelin, my 3 daughters". [NI16212] Noted as Ann Sufleffe in another record ======================================================================== She is variously said to have been born in 1608/9 in Dunston, Dorset, England, born in Dunston, England, born in Dunston, London, England, and born 22 FEb, 1627/8 in Shaftesbury, Dorset, England (Helen Glenn Court, http://www.glenncourt.com/index.html). Frank William Bouley III, fbouley@prodgy.net, says she may have been Anne Tyce teh daughter of William Tyce, because of the will of William Tyce, leaving a grant to his sister Anne and the children of Thomas King; he says to see Torrey p 439. No other information. Frank says if she was Anne Collins, see Planters of the Commonwealth (1620-40) by Charles Edward Banks, p 164. Her husband, Thomas King, is said to have been born in 1597 or 1599 in Tarrant, Hinton, Dorset, England, no source of that idea given anywhere. He came to America in 1635 at age 31 on teh ship Blessing, arriving August at Boston, with a sister Susan aged 32. It doesn't mention his wife and children. Listed as "of Cold Norton, Essex", bound for Scituate. He went first to Watertown. He was a founder of Marlborough, and was on the first board of selectmen. Journalist Russ Spooner, who has Thomas King b 24 Feb 1603 at Cold Norton, Essex, England, gives no contact information on his web site. He says that little is known of his first wife, Anne, and that she is "noted as Ann Sufleffe in another record". He gives no source for that idea, and it appears nowhere else on the Internet. Some have her parents, Henry Collins and Maude Whittaker or Whitacker, married on 25 Apr 1608 in St. Dunstan, Stepney, London, England. One person even has parents for Henry Collins, though no birth information for him; no clue where she got it. Not certain which of two or three families from England he was. He settled in Sudbury in 1638 or 1639. Probably not the Thomas King of Watertown in 1640 and 1642; that man's wife was Mary, and he died 1644. Peter King, the elder, of Shaston, Dorset, gentleman, named his brother Thomas King, now dwelling in New England in his will of May 30 1657. An inspection made of the records in Shaftsbury show that some Kings of that place were Burgesses in previous times. He has sometimes been confused w the other Thomas King of Watertown who was one of those involved w Nashaway, but they wre two difft men. That Thomas King came over in 1634 and lived at WAtertown where he died and was buried in 1644 He was a founder of Marlboro, and apparently a favorite of Edmund Rice. In addition to being picked for plum positions by Edmund Rice, he had three daughters marry sons of Edmund Rice. Thomas King of Sudbury and Marlboro had a son Peter, said to hae been man of some prominence in Sudbury, a deacon of the church, a rep to Conial Court in 1689-90. Peter took his deceased sister Elizabeth Rice's son Samuel to raise as his own at the death and by Will of his father Samuel Rice, and this son was known as Samuel Rice "alias" King. Peter had no sons that are known of. Thomas King (Sr?) surveyed the roads and supervised the chopping of trees, Rice and Ward selectmen ea year for six yrs, and Thomas King served as selectman six times, constable twice, timber keeper and higway supervisor. Died at Marlborough around 6/20/1676 (will date), in Middlesex Co Records. His wife's name Bridgett. Mentioned Thomas and Johshua Rice his three grand children Mary Rice a daughter. Thomas King the widower married 26 Dec 1655, widow Mrs. Bridget (Loker) Davis. He owned land in the fourth squadron of the two-mile grant, his lot being no. 50. ... He was one of the petitioners (the Whip-suffrage planters) for the plantation of Marlboro, in 1656. From Puritan Village The Formation of a New England Town, by Sumner Powell, we learn that John Ruddick (leader of the Marlborough group) was given more liberty in forming his town than Peter Noyes (leader of the Sudbury group) had been granted. The General Court required that there be "twenty or thirty families" together with a minister, and that these families had to settle in the new grant within three years. Except for the fact that a committee was appointed to stake out the new town, the rest was left to Ruddock, Rice, and their young citizens. They knew how to proceed. They had learned the necessity of order. Nineteen new names were added. Some had served as town officers, some had not. But they wree considered worthy. Fourteen men who had expressed a "straightness" in Sudbury were on the list. In the fall of 1660, at a full town meeting of "inhabitants and proprietors", athe frist land distribution was made. Ruddock and Rice had been granted a town plot much larger than that of Sudbury, six miles square containing 24,000 acres. and they had a complicated task of distribution. Their inhabitants were 38 in number, and atleast half of them were the sons of ten leading Sudbury families: Rice, Ward, King, Goodenow, Bent, Newton, Maynard, How,Kerley, and Johnsons.

I am trying to sort out two Thomas King's who settled very early in Watertown, Massachusetts. The Thomas I am interested in was married to Anne Collins and not to Mary. My notes on him are below. Which of them actually came on the Blessing in 1635 from Cold Norton, Essex County, England, where a record of his baptism has apparently been found? Thomas who married Anne Collins appears as nearly as I can tell to have been from Shaftsbury, Dorset. Not certain which of two or three families from England he was. He settled in Sudbury in 1638 or 1639. Probably not the Thomas King of Watertown in 1640 and 1642; that man's wife was Mary, and he died 1644.

(Is this the right Thomas King?) He went first to Watertown and some three years later moved to the new settlement at Sudbury. He was one of the thirteen petitioners in 1656 for the Whipsuppenicke Plantation, which was incorporated as "Marlborow" on May 31, 1660, when he was chosen one of the seven members of the first board of selectmen of which Edmund was the chairman. Little is known of his first wife Anne, save that she died at Sudbury, 1642. He was married, second, at Sudbury on Dec. 26, 1655, to Bridget, widow of Robert Davis. She died at Marborough on March 11, 1685. There is no record of the death of Thomas King in Sudbury or Marlborough but his will signed at Marlborough 12.1.1675 and proved 20.4.16176, shows the approximate time of his death. As he added a codicil on the 15th day of the first mo. 1676. The inventory taken 24.1.1676 totalled £295.10.00, with houses and lands in Marlborough at £200 and lands in Sudbury at £60. In it he mentions "Ann Carly, Mary Rice and Sarah Jocelin, my 3 daughters". Yours, Dora Smith Austin, TX villandra@austin.rr.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Nancy, I have a William King that married a Nancy Ann McKinney. She was born Oct 2, 1884 but I don't have any other information on him. Then I have a William King that married a Hannah Lamphere. She was born Jan 30, 1744 in CT and died in 1825 in MA. I don't have any other information on William or any of their children. But it seems like they could be related to your William that was born in 1779. Maybe a grandfather? Any one have information about these William's or ideas?

Don't know how that "unsubscribe" got there with my name - thanks for changing it. I love the list - and I do want folks to know I'm still searching for info about my William King, born 1779. I still don't have any new info about the parents of my William. Just stopped. I thought his telling the census taker in the 1800s that he was born in Delaware would be a great clue - but nothing. We have him getting married in Carter County, Tennessee in 1803, then living in Lee County and Scott County, Virginia, then moving in the 1820s to Claiborne County (near Hancock County line) Tennessee. I hope to check out that Ancestry listing soon. Haven't seen it yet. I've seen other folks list their Kings from NC and PA who moved into Claiborne County or Hancock County, TN - but I can't link with them, either. There were two different King families living in Claiborne County, TN in the middle 1800s: my William's line, and another line - from -- another -- William!! This William's father was Burwell King. He was living in Claiborne County and Hawkins and Hancock around 1812. Can't link my line to this Burwell line - so far. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Here is Burwell's son - William King (descended from Burwell, William Kirby, William, Edward, Thomas) born abt. 1817 in Tenessee m.

Claiborne Co. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- (Back to my William, b. 1779) I hoped my William's children's names would help find his parents: Elias, Rosa Ozina, Elkanah (Elcana, Cana), Hiram, Margaret (Jennie), Elihu, David, Emily, Lucinda, John, and Amy. His first-born son's name was ELIAS KING. There were several "Elias" Kings in New Castle, Delaware in the 1700s. But - can't find one that has my William born 1779!! One great discovery about Elias KING comes from the death certificate of his son: Van Buren KING. According to his Kentucky death certificate, Van Buren KING was born 25 DEC 1839 in Scott County, Virginia. His father was Elias KING. This Elias is my William's first-born son. So -- I know Elias (b. 1806) was still living in Scott County, VA as late as 1839. Thanks, Nancy -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

I would suggest that you might be looking for a Melongeon family. Claiborne Co. TN was known as a Melongeon county and the names you mention sound like they could have that heritage.

Hi Nancy, I am changing the subject line from "Subscribe" so folks don't hit delete before they read the messages! We talked a few months ago about the Lee Co. VA Kings and the name Elcanah. Robert King b1834 of Yancey Co. NC who I believe is father of James Wiley King b1856 Buncombe or Cherokee Co. NC (my grandfather) was said to have had Elcanah as a middle name. We were told that Elcanah, a Biblical name, was also found among the Lee Co. VA Kings. Were you ever able to check out the Ancestry database I told you about? Rita Tanner

Carol C - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same group. It may have been that Havana Cuba sounded more romantic. That is what is on my birth cert and the same for his death cert but that does not make them correct. Here is my email if you want to send me more information:_barbcal1@aol.com_ (mailto:barbcal1@aol.com) Looking forward to hearing from you! Barb

HI....................I noticed your email on George Sherman KING on the KING-L Rootsweb list. I have KING family that was b. Havana, Montgomery Co., Kansas. The Grandfather of these KING's was George S. KING, b 1820 VA or PA, (sometimes middle initial is shown as W., but deeds say S.). There was usually a George in ea generation. Anyway, thought perhaps your KING was actually b. Havana, Kansas.
