Hi - Is anybody familiar with the King line in Isle of Wight Co, VA from about 1640 thru 1735? Generally, the men are Henry, John and Robert - almost exclusively. Associated families may be Jones, Smith and Wilkinson. I am specifically interested in an Arthur King who is listed in an undated Will by his father Robert King Snr. of Isle of Wight Co. I am a direct descendant of an Arthur King (d. 1718 - intestate) of Westmoreland Co, VA. It appears that Robert King Snr died in 1725, 7 years after the death of 'my' Arthur King. An interesting settlement in 1735 transfers the land willed by Robert King Snr to his son Arthur - deceased, to another son Robert King Jnr. My proposal is that Robert Snr's Will was written prior to Arthur's death in 1718 and was not updated. Therefore, when Snr died, the property passed as willed to Arthur and then immediately to Jnr - only the legal work taking from 1725 to 1735 to complete. With the exception of Snr's Will and the 1735 transfer from Arthur deceased to Jnr, there does not appear to be any other mention of Arthur King in Isle of Wight Co; however there are several mentions of Arthur King in Westmoreland and neighboring Richmond Co. So - are these the same Arthur King? Also - interesting is that Arthur's grandson Arthur King married Elizabeth Wilkinson - an associated surname from Isle of Wight Co. Off the subject - I have noticed more occasions of men in Isle of Wight Co whom are named Arthur than possibly all other counties that I have researched combined. Is this an association with the English King Arthur? If anybody has any ideas on this, I would be interested in hearing them. Thanks Donald King
