The earliest known ancestor, Thomas KING was a
blacksmith in the Oxfordshire village of Wendlebury. His gt.grandson, Robert, was also a
blacksmith, so it is probable that the two generations in between carried on
the same trade. Thomas’ son, Robert, moved to Bletchingdon, 3
miles from Wendlebury, and the family stayed there for three more
generations. Robert’s grandson, another Robert, became a the
blacksmith at Bletchingdon. He
married Susannah ROUSE in 1786, when Susannah already had a two-year old daughter, Martha, but it is not known
whether Robert was the father or not. Martha took the name KING and married firstly a
tailor who died of fever, and then a mason Stephen SOANES of Forest Hill |
