"John was a son of John King of Boyle, Ireland, who was secretary for Ireland under the reign of Queen Elizabeth. He was a grandson of Reverend and Bishop Edward King, first archbishop of Ireland after the Reformation.
John King, Jr. came from Northampton, England to New England. He was living in Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts by 1645. [Northampton was not settled until 1653/54.] He removed to Hartford, Connecticut, then back to Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts in 1655. He married Sarah Horton in Northampton on November 18, 1656. He was an officer in the Northampton forces, and deputy to the General Court."
- ↑ The proposed Irish origin seems unlikely for a man who apparently became a tanner in Northampton.
