Michael King(142) was a minor in 1717 under the guardianship of an uncle, John King(13). By 1719/20, however, he is shown to be married and his wife is named Isabella. Controversy exists as to her surname prior to marriage. I believe she was Isabell Bell, daughter of Robert Bell. This is shown by Michael King receiving part of the estate of Robert Bell at his death. This is surely in right of his wife, Isabell. There are others, however, who believe she was Isabella Ferguson prior to her marriage. There was indeed an Isabell Ferguson earlier, but court records show that she died in 1719. The Isabell who was the wife of Michael King was still living when Michael died in 1742. There are many records pertaining to Michael King(142). He lived on Salmon Creek as did his father. He wrote his will in 1741 and it was probated in 1742. A number of documents exist in which he signed his name "Mikel". All of the children of Michael(142) and Isabella were minors at the time of his death. Estate records in 1743 show Isabella to have remarried as she is referred to as Isabella Diall.
