MICHAEL KING OF NANSEMOND CO, VA

SECOND GENERATION

Nathan King (11), son of Michael and Elizabeth (Hiry) King, was born ca 1653 in Nansemond Co VA. On the 1704 Quit Rents list, he owned 700 acres in Nansemond Co VA. Wilson and Glover give the text of a deposition taken by Edward Moseley in 1707. Apparently Nathan had moved from his land in Nansemond Co VA to the mouth of the Roanoke River (which appears to me to empty into Albermarle Sound, now a part of NC. [loupero]). Henry L King lists additional information.

Michael King (12), son of Michael and Elizabeth (Hiry) King, was born (estimated) 1650 in Nansemond Co VA. The land that he owned was at the head of Somerton Creek. Henry L King suggests land records pertaining to this Michael King. Note that Henry says that the only son which can be proven from land records is John King 121, who has been determined to be the John King who went to Elizabeth City Co VA.

John King (13) son of Michael and Elizabeth (Hiry) King, was born probably 1650-1660, Nansemond Co Va. HLK's Discussion of John King (13)

Henry King (14), son of Michael and Elizabeth (Hiry) King, was born (estimated) 1655 in Nansemond Co VA. This Henry has been said to have married Catherine Clarke.

Henry L King discusses documentation.

Henry owned 300 acres in Nansemond Co at the time of the 1704 quit rents, but may have actually lived in Chowan Co NC before 1700. When he died in 1715/16, in Chowan Co, he left land in Nansemond Co, which establishes his connection to Nansemond.

Henry's will doesn't mention a wife, but probate records establish that his widow, Katherine, had married Gerrard Lynch by Nov 1716. Children mentioned in Henry's will, with birth years estimated, were:
