UNKNOWN PARENTAGE

William has been detached from William King, I and Ann Kinge due to there being no proof of the connection. See notes for information. Please don't attach parents without discussing and providing reliable sources. (2017)

William Kinge was born circa 1595, possibly in Sherborne, Dorset County, England.

William was a member of The Hull Company coming to America. There is a William Kinge, 28 years old on the passenger list for the Abigail, but there is also a William Kinge, 40 years old, with the Hull Company on an unspecified ship, possibly the Marygould, with wife Dorothy and four children: Mary, Katherine, William and Hannah. This second William Kinge is the correct age and has the right family to be the William in this profile.Watt-266 18:14, 30 January 2014 (EST)

William Kinge’s Marriage

L. Ackerly suggests that our William Kinge married Dorothy Hayne on 17 Feb 1616 in Sherborne. "A marriage record exists in Sherbourne Abbey Church of Saint Mary in Sherborne, Dorset, England for a William and Dorothy (Haynes) King, but there is no evidence that this marriage belongs to the immigrant couple other than coincidence of names. The fact that the oldest child, per the immigrant ship manifest, wasn't born till 1623 raises some doubt that this marriage is theirs, although it is possible they had children earlier who died. Birth records of the children born in England are not found in that parish, or anywhere else in England (yet). Thus, confirming evidence coming from subsequent birth records in that parish is lacking."

Another article states that William King married first an unknown wife who died in England before 1631, and secondly, about 1633, a Dorothy.

William Kinge has Quaker Sympathies

William was a member of the First church at Salem, but in 1637 joined the Antinomians and came under the ban of the Salem authorities. He was requested to sever his connection with the new church or have his arms taken away from him. He remained with the new faith and gave up his gun to Lieutenant Danforth. Later he was banished for a time for sheltering the persecuted Quakers.

Antinomianism is a pejorative term leveled against Christians who do not obey church doctrine. In William’s case, it probably means that he embraced Quakerism. His son, William, Jr, was persecuted by his community for supporting Quakers.

His daughter Katherine, married a staunch Quaker, John Swezey. William Hallock disinherited one of his boys for marrying one of the Quaker daughters of Katherine and converting to the Friends.

William apparently died intestate in 1652 in Salem at the age of 57. "The Probate Records of Essex County" pp 117-8 describe the probate of his Estate in Salem .

"Dorathie Kinge, widow, brought in an inventory of William Kinge, her late husband, 27:4:1650. Amount 141li. 18s. Four cows were adjudged to be her own estate.

Estate

"William Kinge dying intestate, his widow Dorothie Kinge and his eldest son William (to whom is given 14 li. for two oxen to teach his brothers his father's trade) were ordered by the court held last 3rd day: 12: 1650, to dispose of the estate, which amounted to 112li. 10s.; Mary, his daughter, wife of John Scudder, 5li.; Katherine, wife of John Swaysy, his second daughter, 5li.; Hannah, his third daughter 10li.; Mehitable, his fourth daughter, aged fifteen, 5li.; and Deliverance, his fifth daughter, aged nine, 10li. John is to serve his brother William seven years and to have 16li. at the end of his time; Sam. to serve him three years and to have 12li.; and William to allow his mother, Dorathie Kinge, 2 shillings per week for her son John's service, beginning 1: 1: 1653. The two younger daughters, Mehitabell and Deliverance, are to remain with their mother. Mr. Battar and Sergant Palfree to divide the estate.

William Kinge agreed with his mother, Dorothie Kinge, to be relieved from his brother John Kinge, and that said John be apprenticed to his mother. The court 28: 9: 1651, consented to the agreement."

Dorothy was likely born as a Hayne and christened on 17 Feb 1593 in Portisham, Dorset County, England. She raised eight children She survived her husband and probably died in Southold, Long Island, New York, where she lived on land provided her by her son, Samuel, after William's death. She died later than 1684.

Reprinted from the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record for April, 1902. WILLIAM AND DOROTHY KING, OF SALEM, MASS., AND THREE GENERATIONS OF THEIR LONG ISLAND DESCENDANTS. COMPILED BY LUCY D. AKERLY FROM THE MANUSCRIPT GENEALOGY OF RUFUS KING OF YONKERS, N. Y. 1 WILLIAM 1 KINGE of Salem, Mass., was born in England about 1595, and is first traced in a list of 106 passengers entitled "Bound for New England, Waymouth, ye _20 March, 1635." [The original list in the Public Record Office in London, in Vol. IX., of Colonial Papers, 1636-8, was examined by Mr. Rufus King in 1885. and found to agree with the copy printed in j. Camden Holten's Original Lists of Emigrants to the A,nericzn Plantations, 1600-1700, p. 285.] This list includes the following names: William Kinge, aged ,40 [Or possibly 30, one figure having been written over the other,] Dorothy his wife, aged 34, Mary Kinge his daughtr, aged 12, Katheryn his daughtr, aged 10, Wilim Kinge his sonne, aged 8, Hanna Kinge his daughtr, aged 6. There was also another son Samuel King, born about 1633, whose name is not included in the ship's list, doubtless on account of his being so young, but his King parentage is clearly set forth in legal papers recorded at Salem relating to the distribution of his father's estate. As William King selected Weymouth for a point of departure, it is conjectured that he may have lived in some place in the south of England for which it was the most convenient port. In the Register of the Abbey Church of St. Mary at Sherborne, Dorset, are many entries of the name King, and among them the following: " 1616--17, Feb. 17, Williami Kinge et Dorothiae Hayne nupt." [See Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica, Vol. IV., p. 264.] This is probably the record of the marriage of William and Dorothy King the emigrants to America, though they do not appear to have lived in Sherborne as we find no further record of them there nor entries of the baptism of their children in the Church Register. William Kinge on reaching New England, settled at Salem, Mass., where he was made freeman 25 March, 1636, and received the same year a grant of 40 acres at Jeffrey's Creek, now Manchester, also in 1638, one of 30 acres at Royall Side [Essex Institute His,. Co11.. Vols. IV., p. 96, and IX., p. 80.] at the head of Basse River, now Beverly, where the King homestead was pleasantly situated. The land rose with a gentle slope to the level of a broad field, and the road turned to the left beyond the house, [The old King house was taken down about sixty years ago and the site is now occupied by the Asylum and School for Deaf Mutes.] passing over the bridge part way up the hill; the King acres were on both sides of the bridge. In the deposition of John Weston, Senr., of Reading, dated 24 Feb., 1699-1700, may be found some interesting facts relating to the disposal of this land by the widow Dorothy King and her removal from Salem to Long Island. Capt. John Dodge of Beverly, aged about 63 years, testified on 28 June, 1700, as to the King property at Royall Side, and de-scribed the boundaries as follows: " On the East upon the. river called Basse River, Southerlie on ye cove that runs to a house formerly Batchelor's and Westerly and Northerly with the land-of John Green, deceased." [Salem Deeds, Vol. XIII. pp. 246, 298.] William King's name appears in a list of Salem Grand Jurors in 1637, and also on the roll of members of the First Church of Salem; he took an active part in the religious controversies of the time and in 1637, identified himself with the Antinomians, a step which placed him under the ban of the Salem authorities, he was admonished to sever his connection with the sect, under penalty of being disarmed, and refusing to do so, he was directed to leave his gun with Lieut. Danforth. Mr. King died about 1650-1, intestate; his widow Dorothy and son William settled the estate under the direction of the court at Salem, where papers on file mention the following children: William the eldest son, Samuel aged 18, John aged 13, Mary, wife of Mr. Scudder, Katheryn, wife of John Swasy, Mehitable aged 15, and Deliverance aged 9. Dorothy Kinge, widow, of Salem, bought in 1652, of John Swazey of that place, his dwelling house and land, lying between the lands of Richard Hyde and Daniell Rumball on the South River; also a tract of land in the South Field; in 1653, she sold the same to Thomas Johnson, Thomas Reynolds and Thomas Barnes; in 1658, she is mentioned in the Salem Court Records as "Doritha King, widdow and Relict of William King, Senr.," in the testimony of Michael Shaflin, aged about 8o years; in 1684, she received commonage of one acre at Southold [Southold Town Rec., Vol. I., p. 406. ] where her daughters Hannah, wife of Lieut. Richard Brown, and Deliverance, wife of John Tuthill were then living. This partial history of the King family includes only the early generations descended from Samuel and Frances (Ludlam) King, who were the progenitors of the Long Island branch. The Kings of Massachusetts are the posterity of a younger brother John King of Salem, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Goldthwait of that place and was the ancestor of many of the name who have filled positions of honor and trust in the community
