William Banks of King & Queen County

Not the same as William Bankes, I. Not a known son of Sir John Bankes of Corfe Castle, MP, Chief Justice & Lady Mary 'Brave Dame Mary' Bankes.
Of course he wasn't the William Banks, son of John Banks! His father was William Banks I, b 1589-1672.

WILLIAM4 BANKS (JAMES3, JOHN2, UNKNOWN1) was born 1643, and died 1709 in Mantapike, King and Queen Co, Virginia. He married MARY TUNSTALL 1680. She was born 1660.

http://www.oocities.org/heartland/ridge/4706/unknownbanks.htm This source says William Banks is the son of James Banks, b. 1614 in England.

Some genealogies say William is the son of Sir John Bankes and Mary Hawtrey: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/d/a/Patricia-Adams-CA/...

Uncertain who this William Banks may be. No William Banks b. 1643 shows up in http://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/search.php?mylastname=BANKS&l...

However, there is a wife Mary connection with a William who was born in 1630

Record of Thomas Bunbury's will seems to suggest William Banks is his step-father (referred to as father-in-law) MARRIED TO HIS MOTHER. Mary. The inventory of William Banks' estate following refers to Mrs. Mary Banks, who was presumably his widow.
