---A list of MA Soldiers in Am. Rev. Vol 9 shows a Nathaniel King from Rochester-pvt. (he also appears in the deed records in the 1780's), a Nathaniel King of Kingston pvt. in Capt Ebenezer Washburn's Co., Col. Thomas Lothrop's regt, Brig. Joseph Cushing's brigade This looks like "our" Nathaniel but doesn't match the unit listed in wife's pension application. There is a third Nathaniel King of W. Springfield listed as a pvt. in Capt. Chapin's Co and later in Capt. Stoddards Co., Vose's regt as a Corporal Feb 1777 to Mar 1778 reported deceased! This is the company listed by Rebecca in her application, and she also him as a corporal. It appears that their is a confusion of records here. According to family records of Charles E. King (Lyndon - John B. line) he served with Washington at Valley Forge. No confirmation of this.

LAND:

18 Sept 1781 Plymouth co., MA Vol 60 p 227 "of Kingston & wife Rebecca" sold to Seth Cushing of Plimpton for 56.8 £ land and building in Kingston laid off in division of estate of father John Everson late of Kingston- bounds set in probate records. Also rights given to our Honorable mother Silence Everson; witnessed by Ignatius Loving & Jabez Westin; recorded 11 Mar 1783

19 Sept 1781 Plymouth co., MA vol 60 p 228 Seth Cushing paid Jabez Weston of Pelham in Hampshire co. 56.8#--Cushing conveyed to Rebecca King, wife of Nathaniel of Halifax, land & house & barn also woodland 69 acres in Halifax; land Cushing bought of David Ripley (Plimpton) and he got from Jonathan Holmes III (Plimpton)

19 Nov 1793 bought land in Winchester, NH Vol. 21 p.478

NOTES: He apparently moved to Winchester, NH sometime between Sept. 1781 (land records)and 1790 (fed. census)

CHILDREN: it would appear from census records that Nathaniel had the following children: 2 males born 1768-1774; 1 male born 1774-1790; 3 females born 1774-1784 and one female born 1784-1790 for a total of 3 sons and 4 daughters. Descendant Charles E. King lists the following sons - Nathaniel, Jr., Isaac (8 May 1773 bd differs from mine), and Hosea. I have included these on my group sheet because of some other verification. He also lists the following daughters - Mary (1 Apr 1774), Rebecca, Grace, Hannah (15 Mar 1783) and Lucy (27 Sept 27 1781) who he says died unmarried in 1826. Except for Lucy, I can find no verification for the other females. I believe, however that lucy married Lewis Fassett.
