Likely a member of the same King family at Upton Gray and Thomas names his sons Thomas and John and his daughters Mary, Elizabeth and Martha. All are under twenty one years of age. His wife is named as Mary.
A Thomas King was baptized 21 Oct 1633 at Upton Grey son of Thomas and Elisabeth King.
Elizabeth King daughter of Thomas and Marie Kinge was baptized 9 Apr 1672 at Upton Grey.
Martha Kinge daughter of Thomas and Mary Kinge was baptized 2 Nov 1674 at Upton Grey.
John Kinge son of Thomas and Marie Kinge was baptized 16 Apr 1677 at Upton Grey
A little later on but an interesting baptism of Thomas King son of Thomas and Ann King baptized 9 May 1695 at Upton Grey.
The will of Anne King probated in 1729 mentions that her husband’s name was Thomas King.

Always nice to be able to link these wills. Once again, this is not likely my family as no mention of my Thomas at Upper Clatford in the will of Anne King.

Will of Anne King, Widow, Upton Gray, Hampshire - The National Archives PROB 11/198, probated 4 Nov 1646
The next set of wills is actually for members of the King family in the areas around Andover, Hampshire. My 4x great grandmother was Joanna King daughter of Thomas King and Mary Carter and she was baptized at Upper Clatford where her father was a farmer. Locating the parents of Thomas King has proven to be somewhat difficult and so I collected these wills to see if I could find any clues. Thomas himself left a will but does not indicate any other members of his family then his son in law Joseph Blake. There are sixteen King wills.
Looking at Find My Past there was a marriage for Thomas King 2 May 1694 to Anne Winch at Upton Gray. The bride from Bray, Berkshire with bondsmen Symon Winch and Richard Winch.
There are another fifteen wills which include a Robert King in 1652. This is unlikely to be my King family located at Upper Clatford as it is 27 miles between them but will wait and see.

Looking at Find My Past there was a marriage for Thomas King 2 May 1694 to Anne Winch at Upton Gray. The bride from Bray, Berkshire with bondsmen Symon Winch and Richard Winch.
There are another fifteen wills which include a Robert King in 1652. This is unlikely to be my King family located at Upper Clatford as it is 27 miles between them but will wait and see.
