• Notes

  The King Family of Suffield, Connecticut, pp. 85-87: Benjamin King was a farmer and lived at Suffield until after his father's death in 1722. He then removed to Stafford, at which place he had a farm of three hundred acres. His first five children, one of whom died in infancy, were born in Suffield, the last of these being born there in 1721. He left a will which still remains on file at Hartford. ... Stafford, to which Benjamin King removed from Suffield, was about sixteen miles east from the latter place and Tolland (Toaland) where Benjamin King's 'well esteemed friend Lieutenant John Huntington' lived was about eight miles southerly from Stafford.
