KING / KINGE
My 10th great grandfather, Daniel King (1599 – 1672), was born in Watford, Hertfordshire in England. His son, Daniel King, Jr., stated in 1653 that he owned land in Beaconfield, Buckinghamshire, near where he married Elizabeth Guy in 1624 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. He was in Uxbridge, Middlesex, England in 1639. Soon after this date, he probably left for New England with his wife and children.
Daniel King’s first record in New England was a court
appearance on 30 June 1641 in Salem, Massachusetts. He was a woolen draper and a merchant, and
described as “gentleman” or “Mr.” in the records. His land in Lynn is located in what is now
the town of Swampscott. He appears in
the records for many land transactions, as well as several suits such as when
his bull gored his neighbor’s mare who was “great with foal” in 1646 (Essex
Quarterly Court Records 1:258). That
same year he was fined for “supposed neglect of training” when he told the
court he was lame and would provide a man to train for the militia in his
place.
In 1670 Daniel King conveyed the western part of his farm to
his son Ralph, with provisions to three sons-in-law that they could cut wood
(Essex Deeds, 3:99, 5:54). His will is dated 7 February 1671, and was
proved on 26 June 1672. He left his estate to his son Daniel, and it mentions
his daughters Hannah Blaney, Elizabeth Redding, and Sarah Needham.
I descend from Daniel’s son, Daniel, Jr., (1625 – 1690), my
9th great grandfather. He was
a merchant involved with the triangle trade between New England, the West
Indies and England. He lived for a time on
the island of St Christopher/ St. Kitts, and then came to Salem to be an
innkeeper. He married Tabitha Walker in
1647. He probably died in Salem before 2
April 1690, when on an indenture he was described as “Daniel King Sr. late of
Salem, yeoman deceased” (Essex County
Deeds 8:154 – 155).
Next, I descend from Daniel King, Jr.’s daughter Hannah King
(b. 1681), my 8th great grandmother, who married John Bacon in
1701. They had six children, and passed
on the name Tabitha to my 7th great grandmother, Tabitha Bacon. She had a granddaughter named Tabitha Glover
(1765 – 1837) my 5th great grandmother. My 4th great grandmother, Betsey
Jillings Homan, had a sister named Tabby Homan, which was probably really yet
another Tabitha!
