KING, Samuel, s. Sam[ue]l and Mary, bp. Apr. 6, 1735. CR3 [CR3=South Church (or Middle Precinct), Peabody.]
↑ Samuel King is a common name, so searching results do not stand out. Little has been found on the Samuel King who married Bethiah, but a survey of deeds in New Salem, strongly hint his father was Samuel Danvers, whose wife was Mary.
