General Notes (Husband)
Lived in Newbury, Massachusetts until 1662, when he moved to Sudbury, where he died Dec 1, 1711 probalby about 80 years old. He was a tailor, perhaps the tailor of the town,though for a few years in the latter part of his lfie he had a competitor in Enoch Cleveland, youngest son of Moses Cleveland of Woburn. John Allen also had a farm, where he lived, in the part of Sudbury now called Wayland.
Sudbury was attacked by the Indians during King Philip's War in 1676, and John Allen was one of the suffers, his loss on a petition to the General Court being estimated at 60 pounds. In 1688 he was one of those who took the public stock of ammunition into their hands, a sort of minute man. It is probable that he had a sonThomas killed in the first French and Indian War (King William's War, 1689).
General Notes for Child Benjamin ALLEN
Benjamin was taken to Sudbury, Massachusetts, in the year he was born. He was a farmer, and lived at Watertown Farms, incorporated in 1712 as Weston, where he died. His tombstone is in the old burial ground at Weston Centre. He married Fracnes Rice, daugther of Thomas Rice, of Sudbury. The Boston Gazette says she lived to be 96; if so, she died about 1767.

General Notes (Husband)
There is no particular reason to think that these are actually the parents of Thomas and Peter King.
General Notes for Child Thomas KING
Thomas King was one of the petitioners who founded the town of Marlborough, Mass., in 1656. (Colonial Records of Marlborough, Mass, printed in the NEHGS Register of July 1908). The petition was dated May, 1656, and asked for a new town to be formed about 8 miles west of Sudbury, where the petitioners were living. Apparently, the town of Sudbury had become too crowded "as also God haveing given us some considerable quantity of Cattle", and the petitioners asked for a grant of eight miles square "For to make a Plantation". Among the signers were Thomas King, Edmund Rice, Edward Rice, Henry Rice, and Richard Newton. On the 14th of May, 1656, the petition was granted (Pretty quick action), except six miles square instead of eight, or in any convenient form equivalent thereunto, provided that "there bee a towne setled with Twenty or more Families within three yeares, so as an Able Ministry may bee there maintained". On the 25th of the 12th month of 1656 (Feb 1656/1657), selectmen were chosen; Thomas King and Edmund Rice were two of the five chosen. A plantation of 6000 acres was provided for the Indians, adjacent to the new town, in 1659. The new plantation was named Marlborough in 1660. On the 26th of the ninth month (November) of 1660, House lots were granted - Thomas King received 39 1/2 acres, and Edmund Rice 50 acres. Peter King received 22 acres; the son of Thomas. Thomas was selectman 6 times, and constable twice. Other than that, he effectively avoided any records, though he lived for another 16 years.

Not certain which of two or three families from England he was. He settled in Sudbury in 1638 or 1639. Probably not the Thomas King of Watertown in 1640 and 1642; that man's wife was Mary, and he died 1644.
His arrival in New England is not known but he and his wife and son Peter were of Sudbury by 1642.
There were three and probably four Thomas King's.
Thomas King of Scituate. After the death of his third wife in October 1653, he married Anne Sutcliffe. In 1660, Elizabeth Lee of Humbledon, Surrey, wife of Richard Lee, mentioned her sister Anne Collins married to Thomas King living in New England. Thomas of Scituate's Ann was the only Ann married to a Thomas King still living at that time. Anne the wife of Thomas King of Sudbury had died in 1642. This will has been used to attribute the name of Collins to Anne the wife of Thomas King of Sudbury and Marlboro, but it does not refer to her. Nor does it make much sense to think that Thomas King of Shaftesbury, had married in Dorset, a woman born in a different part of England, with no apparent explanation of how that happened offered. This information looks likely to pertain to Thomas of Scituate: He came to America in 1635 at age 31 on teh ship Blessing, arriving August at Boston, with a sister Susan aged 32. It doesn't mention his wife and children. Listed as "of Cold Norton, Essex", bound for Scituate.
Thomas King of Watertown, involved in Nashaway, came in April 1634, on the Elizabeth of Ipswich, at age 15, with teh family of John. He went to Watertown, and never left Watertown. He died there in 1644.
Thomas King the husband of Anne, it is not known when or how he arrived in Massachusetts. He settled in Sudbury, became a close friend of Edmund Rice, adn moved to Marlboro, where he died. He is probably the Thomas King, brother of Peter King the elder of Shaston (Shaftesbury), Dorset, mentioned in his will made May 30 1657, as now living in New England. His wife, Anne, was apparently Anne Tyce. I am still working on the documentation for this. Multiple people cite a will of William Tyce, in Shaftesbury in 1649, which mentions his sister Anne and her children with Thomas King. Anne the wife of Thomas King did die in 1642.
Following are my former notes, full of identity confusion.
5202. Thomas King was born about 1595 in Tarrant, Hinton, Dorset, ENG. He was christened in Jul 1596 in Tarrant, Hinton, Dorset, ENG. He signed a will on 21 Mar 1675/76. He died on 3 May 1676 in Marlborough, Middlesex Co., MA. He had his estate probated on 24 Mar 1677. His will showed a value of 383 pounds. He was in Sudbury about 1638/9 where he owned land in the 2 mile grant #50. He was granted land in Watertown in 1650. In the Indian wars of 1675 (King Phillips), he was in the household of his son-in-law William Kerley. Thomas King and Anne Collins were married about 1625 in Dorset, Eng.

Thomas King, is said to have been born in 1597 or 1599 in Tarrant, Hinton, Dorset, England, no source of that idea given anywhere. He came to America in 1635 at age 31 on teh ship Blessing, arriving August at Boston, with a sister Susan aged 32. It doesn't mention his wife and children. Listed as "of Cold Norton, Essex", bound for Scituate. He went first to Watertown. He was a founder of Marlborough, and was on the first board of selectmen.
Peter King, the elder, of Shaston, Dorset, gentleman, named his brother Thomas King, now dwelling in New England in his will of May 30 1657. An inspection made of the records in Shaftsbury show that some Kings of that place were Burgesses in previous times. He has sometimes been confused w the other Thomas King of Watertown who was one of those involved w Nashaway, but they wre two difft men. That Thomas King came over in 1634 and lived at WAtertown where he died and was buried in 1644 So Thomas King of Watertown was not living in 1657, and Thomas King of Sudbury is most logically who Peter King of Shaston, Dorset, was referring to.
Thomas was a founder of Marlboro, and apparently a favorite of Edmund Rice. In addition to being picked for plum positions by Edmund Rice, he had three daughters marry sons of Edmund Rice.
Shaston is the old name of Shaftbury or Shaftsbury, Dorset. Tarrant Hinton is nearby.
Thomas King of Sudbury and Marlboro had a son Peter, said to have been man of some prominence in Sudbury, a deacon of the church, a rep to Conial Court in 1689-90. Peter took his deceased sister Elizabeth Rice's son Samuel to raise as his own at the death and by Will of his father Samuel Rice, and this son was known as Samuel Rice "alias" King. Peter had no sons that are known of.
Thomas King (Sr?) surveyed the roads and supervised the chopping of trees, Rice and Ward selectmen ea year for six yrs, and Thomas King served as selectman six times, constable twice, timber keeper and higway supervisor. Died at Marlborough around 6/20/1676 (will date), in Middlesex Co Records. His wife's name Bridgett. Mentioned Thomas and Johshua Rice his three grand children Mary Rice a
daughter.
Thomas King the widower married 26 Dec 1655, widow Mrs. Bridget (Loker) Davis. He owned land in the fourth squadron of the two-mile grant, his lot being no. 50. ...
He was one of the petitioners (the Whip-suffrage planters) for the plantation of Marlboro, in 1656. From Puritan Village The Formation of a New England Town, by Sumner Powell, we learn that John Ruddick (leader of the Marlborough group) was given more liberty in forming his town than Peter Noyes (leader of the Sudbury group) had been granted. The General Court required that there be "twenty or thirty families" together with a minister, and that these families had to settle in the new grant within three years. Except for the fact that a committee was appointed to stake out the new town, the rest was left to Ruddock, Rice, and their young citizens. They knew how to proceed. They had learned the necessity of order.
Nineteen new names were added. Some had served as town officers, some had not. But they wree considered worthy. Fourteen men who had expressed a "straightness" in Sudbury were on the list.
In the fall of 1660, at a full town meeting of "inhabitants and proprietors", athe frist land distribution was made. Ruddock and Rice had been granted a town plot much larger than that of Sudbury, six miles square containing 24,000 acres. and they had a complicated task of distribution. Their inhabitants were 38 in number, and atleast half of them were the sons of ten leading Sudbury families: Rice, Ward, King, Goodenow, Bent, Newton, Maynard, How,Kerley, and Johnsons.
Thomas King came to America in 1635 at age 31 on the ship Blessing, arriving August at Boston, with a sister Susan, aged 32. Listed as "of Cold Norton, Essex", bound for Scituate. (Is this the right Thomas King?)
He went first to Watertown and some three years later moved to
the new settlement at Sudbury. He was one of the thirteen petitioners in 1656 for the Whipsuppenicke Plantation, which was incorporated as "Marlborow" on May 31, 1660, when he was chosen one of the seven members of the first board of selectmen of which Edmund was the chairman.
Little is known of his first wife Anne, save that she died at Sudbury, 1642. He was married, second, at Sudbury on Dec. 26, 1655, to Bridget, widow of Robert Davis. She died at Marborough on March 11, 1685. There is no record of the death of Thomas King in Sudbury or Marlborough but his will signed at Marlborough 12.1.1675 and proved 20.4.16176, shows the approximate time of his death. As he added a codicil on the 15th day of the first mo. 1676. The inventory taken 24.1.1676 totalled £295.10.00, with houses and lands in Marlborough at £200 and lands in Sudbury at £60. In it he mentions "Ann Carly, Mary Rice and Sarah Jocelin, my 3 daughters".
Noted as Ann Sufleffe in another record
Thomas [BO: King :BO] immigrated to New England from Ipswich "in
the Elizabeth of Ipswich, Master, William [BO: Andrews, :BO] the last
of April 1634", at the age of 15 with the family of John [BO: Barnard.

was the chairman.
Nothing is known of his first wife Anne, save that she died at

lands in Marlborough at 200lbs and lands in Sudbury at 60lbs. In it

Jocelin, :BO] my 3 daughters.
"Middlesex Probate, Docket 13334", Vol. 5, pgs 23-26
It is not known where in England Thomas and Anne came from. However there are some possible clues. On May 30, 1658 Peter King of Shaston (i.e. Shaftsbury), Dorset wrote a will and mentioned his brother Thomas King, "now dwelling in New England". It has been put forth that this Peter was probably the brother of Thomas. Also in 1660 Elizabeth Lee of Hambledon, Surrey, wife of Richard Lee, gave a legacy of ten pounds to Ann King, wife of Thomas King of New England.[2/82] This bequest is indicative of a family relationship between Elizabeth and Ann. The trouble is that Ann died 18 years before Elizabeth made her will. There may have been another Thomas King in New England who had a wife named Ann. In fact, Thomas King of Scituate married Anne Sutliffe sometime after the death of his third wife in October 1653.[5]
The last name of Thomas' wife Anne is given as Collins in [5], but the source of that information is not clear. The name was not known in [2]. As such, the reader should take the name with a grain of salt.

This man confuses THomas of Scituate, Thomas of Watertown, and Thomas of Sudbury and Marlboro, and invents a third wife Anne.
from Bonds Watertown Families:
p. 326. KING.--9th line, for 1646, read 1644. This "young, resolute, and confident"
Thomas King, appears to have been the pioneer in the settlement of Rutland [then
called Nashaway]. From an excursion thither, with Sholan, an Indian chief, he returned
and induced the hardy and adventurous John Prescott and others, to go and commence
a settlement there. He and Symonds, built a trading-house; but he died in
Watertown, before he had moved his family thither. His Inventory renders it very
probable that he was a trader in Watertown. [See Willard's Centennial Address, at
Lancaster, and Geneal. Reg. viii., p. 56.]

Thomas and Ann King
Husband:
Thomas King Born: in England, circa 1600 (Thomas' brother lived in Shaston, Dorsetshire, England, and it is possible that Thomas may have been born there or have lived there).
Died: in Marlborough, MA before 1685.
Parents: Unknown.
First Wife:
Ann ----- Born: in England.
Died: in Sudbury, MA 24 December 1642 (20 days after the birth of her son, Thomas).
Parents: Unknown.

Married: 26 December 1655.
There is an English will written by Elizabeth, wife of Richard Lee, an abstract of which is given in the General Registry for 1896, page 529, which mentions the wife of Thomas King, in New England, as Ann. This will was written after the death in 1642 of Thomas' first wife, Ann. (William R. Cutter, "Historic Homes and Places and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Families of Middlesex County", p. 130,) Therefore, it is possible to assume that Thomas might have had a second wife, also named Ann, before his marriage to Bridget Davis in 1655. If so, this Ann was Ann Collins before her marriage.
Thomas King came to America and settled in Sudbury, MA about 1642. He was one of the petitioners organized by John Ruddock to establish a new community which later separated from Sudbury. The new settlement became "Whip Suffrage" and finaly "Marlborough" in honor of a town in Ruddock's old English County of Wiltshire. Thomas King was one of the selectmen elected in 1657 by the proprietors.
Thomas and his first wife, Ann King, had three children:
Elizabeth, b. England, ca. 1635; m. Samuel Rice.
Peter, b. England ca. 1636; died in Marlborough, MA 27 August 1704.
Thomas, b. Sudbury, MA 4 Dec. 1642; d. probably in Sudbury, MA 1645.

General Notes (Husband)

The primary information sources for the SHATTUCK family are Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, by Dr. Henry Bond (1860), and Memorial of the Descendants of William Shattuck, by Lemuel Shattuck (1855). Additional details have been added from a variety of other sources.
William SHATTUCK - b. about 1622; d. Aug. 14, 1672, Watertown, Middlesex Co., MA. Buried at Arlington Street Cemetery, with gravesite having a memorial tablet [inscription] erected in 1853 by Lemuel SHATTUCK, a descendant. William, a weaver by trade, was at Watertown, Middlesex Co., MA by 1639, but his origins and arrival in America are based on speculation. Attempts to identify his mother as the widow Damaris SHATTUCK and his younger brother as Samuel SHATTUCK of Salem, MA are not supported by available evidence. William held several public offices in Watertown between 1652 and 1665. His will was dated Aug. 3, 1672 and proved Aug. 29, 1672, with his estate appraised on Aug. 23, 1672 at over £434, including over £103 in cash, £180 for his house and land, and £20 for a farm at Stoney Brook. Married about 1642.
