Edmund King, the testator, was married to Agnes (unknown).
There was a baptism for William King, Nov 1631, at Alton, Hampshire. (Family Search)
Although the Alton Parish Records do date back to 1615 for baptisms, 1629 for marriages and 1616 for burials, they do not appear to be online. Find my Past has only nine entries between 1590 and 1670.
Edmond King (age 32) married Joane Bushell (age 40) 22 Oct 1655 at Binsted near Alton, Hampshire
Edmund King buried 28 Jul 1656 at Alton, Hampshire (likely the testator)
Edward King buried 15 May 1668 at Alton, Hampshire
Jane King (age 22) married Allen Bryant (age 28) 26 Feb 1654 at Binsted near Alton, Hampshire
Joan King buried 22 Sep 1655 at Alton, Hampshire
Johan King buried 28 Jan 1637 at Alton, Hampshire
John King buried 9 Jan 1656 at Alton, Hampshire
(Male) King (infant) buried 26 Aug 1665 at Alton, Hampshire
William King buried 24 Sep 1668 at Alton, Hampshire
As far as I can tell just the burial for Edmund King relates to this particular will.
Was this family always at Alton? There are King families in Alton back into the 1500s.
A search on Find My Past did not reveal any King families similar to this in Hampshire other than in the Alton area.
Edmund named his daughters. First, Jane Rout with sons Thomas and John and daughter Dorothy, her husband is likely David Rout who signed the will as a witness. Second
Elizabeth Vanner with son John and husband is John Vanner identified as a son in law. Third, Margery Nash with sons George and John and daughter Rachell. George Nash is identified as a son in law. Fourth, Agnes Manning and her son John Manning and daughter Elizabeth Manning. He also named his sons, Edmund King the eldest with daughter Anne. Thomas and William are his other sons named in the will and his joint executors.
He identified his brother as Henry King.
