General Notes: Husband - William King

---

The pioneer ancestor of this family, with his wife, Dorothy, and two children came from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, London, Eng-land, to Salem, Massachusetts. The following appears in the early town and church records of the town: "William King came from London, England, in the ship 'Abigail' in 1635, aged twenty-eight; had a grant of land in 1637, and was afterwards a freeman. He had be-sides a wife two children, William Jr. and Samuel. Afterwards he had the following children baptized: Mehetable, on the 25th Dec. 1636; John, Nov. 1st, 1638; Deliverance, Oct. 31st, 1641. He seemed to have been the su-perior polemic, if not devotee, as in the anti-nomian perversity of 1637, he was one of five men in Salem who was required to be dis-armed for the public safety, and in the more violent ragings of spiritual insubordination in 1659, his Christian kindness to the Quakers exposed him to whipping and banishment. From the latter he was restored in 1661, on repentance."
