Charles King

  General Notes:

from http://home.comcast.net/~tinasgenealogy/surnames/king/loupero/michael/michad13.htm:
Charles King was likely born about 1695. I have already shown that he obtained 461 acres of land, part of which had been granted to his father William King in 1703. In early land records of Chowan County the land was described as being on King's Branch of Cypress Swamp. On current maps of the area, now in Gates County, it is referred to as J ordan-Lassiter Branch. Like his brother Henry, Charles also appeared prominently in the records of Chowan County. He was for most of his life the Captain of Militia for the northwest corner of the county. He was appointed Justice of the Peace by the Royal Governor and was a Vestryman in St. Pauls Vestry which covered the northern part of Chowan County. According to Solomon's Bible record his wife was Mary, surname unknown. Also according to this Bible record Charles died 15 January 1762. Although county records have not survived State records show that his estate was administered by Henry King in 1762. It cannot be determined if it was administered by his brother or by his son.
Two of the sons of Charles King have been identified in the Bible record. Surviving land records have resulted in the identification of three other sons. There were probably also daughters, however, their names are not known.

Charles married Mary ?. (Mary ? died on 2 Feb 1762.)
