I'm trying to find the connection between Wanton King, b. 1767 in Quidnessette, Rhode Island and two Ward Kings. Arnold's Vital Records of Rhode Island states that Wanton King & his wife, Sarah Matteson, had a son, Ward King, b. May 13, 1800 in W. Greenwich, Kent Co. Rhode Island. I was e-mailed by another researcher who says she has a Ward King, b. 1801 in Massachusetts, who is the grandson of Wanton King. The parents of this second Ward King are Ward King Sr. and his wife, Sarah. I believe Sarah's last name may be Walker. There is a Ward King in the Berkshire Co. Mass. census in 1800, while Wanton King is in Kent Co. Rhode Island. In 1810, Wanton King & Ward King Sr. are both in Hancock, Berkshire Co. Mass, and both have males living with them age ten and under. Later, Wanton King and two Ward Kings all show up in Chautauqua Co. New York. Wanton King's will only mentions one Ward King, but which one? What is the connection of the different Wards to Wanton King? Which Ward is Wanton's son, or does he have two sons named Ward from different wives? (although given the dates, this scenario really doesn't fit.) I'm also looking for connections to my Henry King's descendents and siblings (especially his sister Abigail King Sly). Henry was b. May 11, 1794, son of Job King & Eunice Albro. Henry died in 1865 in New London, Huron Co. Ohio. I have quite a bit of info on Henry & his family. Thanks! Debbi
