William King (the subject of the above mentioned dispute) married on May 21, 1738, Elizabeth Edwards, daughter of John Edwards and Jane Arrington. The Edwards family was one of the most prominent among the early pioneers who settled this country. Before crossing the ocean to the wilds of America they had been in Denbigh, Wales, for many centuries. They can easily be traced back to Sir John Griffith Lloyd, a direct descendant of Roderick the Great, king of Wales in 824. Richard Edwards of Denbigh had four sons: Richard, William, John, and Thomas. Richard, the eldest of these, left Wales during the reign of Queen Elizabeth and settled in Chester, England, where he was a minister of the established church. He later removed to London and at the time of his death was prelate to the queen. His son, Thomas, was knighted by royal decree in 1624. This Sir Thomas Edwards had five sons: William, John, Thomas, Robert, and Edmund. The eldest, William Edwards (1620-1685), came to America with his mother and step-father, John Cole, of London
