KING
in West Kington & Castle Combe WIL
Descendants of John KING and Hester REEVES
The KING family below begins with my ancestors John KING (J124) & Hester REEVES (J125), and shows many of their descendants in West Kington and Castle Combe.
Also in Castle Combe, from the latter half of the 18th century, were the descendants of a Charles KING and Mary HALL; Charles may or may not be descended from John King and Hester REEVES. To see details of this Charles KING and his descendants click here.
There were other KINGs in and around West Kington and Castle Combe who may or may not be connected with these two families, so the details given below are not necessarily complete. Also I do not guarantee that the conclusions I have reached in assembling these two families are necessarily the correct ones.
