  • 2 Richard King. Was born in England, came into Virginia about or before 1662 with his parents; not traced. He may have settled on the Maryland side of the Potomac.
  • 3. Elizabeth King. Was born in England and came into Virginia with her parents about or bofore 1662. She married Robert Ball of Westmoreland County, Va. Her descendants inherited land from her fathor Robert (1) King. (See abstracts of their peti- tions and doods).
  • 4. William King. Born in England and came to Virginia with his parents. He died in Stafford County, about 1703 leaving a will naming two sons.

Perhaps other children were born to Robert and Johannah King.

The will of Robert (1) King was presented to the Court of Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1693 by Alexander Spense acting as attorney for Johannah, the widow and relict of said Robert King. Later doeds show the connections between the above children and their parents. Other children may have been named in his will. In fact it would seem that he did have other children and that the King families on the Maryland side of the Potomac were connected with this generation of the King family.
