Born about 1595 (aged 40 on 20 March 1634/5). Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Marygould" & settled in Salem. (On 20 March 1634/5, "William Kinge," aged 40, "Dorothy his wife," aged 34, "Mary Kinge his daughter," aged 12, "Katheryn his daughter," aged 10, "Will[ia]m Kinge his son," aged 8, and "Hanna King, his daughter," aged 6, were enrolled at Weymouth as passengers for New England on the Marygould. (Samuel King, son of this couple, was born in England and should have been included in this passenger list. The next line in this list, as printed, following the entry for Hannah King, is incomplete, and is simply "Somm'." This has been taken to be an abbreviation for Somerset, the residence of most of the passengers on this vessel. But this may in fact be the beginning of the entry for Samuel King, for some reason not completed.) Died soon after 26 June 1649.
Married by about 1623 Dorothy _____. After her husband's death she removed to Southold, then came back to Salem about ten years later, and then removed again to Southold, where she may have been living as late as 28 March 1684, when a record of her commonage lot was entered in the town records.
