G. Oddie, TCSB 2002, p.170: JOHN KING. A yeoman in Huntingdonshire, he
married Elizabeth Halsey in 1667. She was the daughter of William Halsey and
brother of Edward Hallsey (another St Ives, Hunts issuer). Elizabeth and John had
children baptised in St Ives between 1669-1677, including a son Josiah in 1673 and
another son Edward. In 1672 he can be found in the Quaker return of the St Ives
assizes and a recusant in the assizes of 1682. John King a Quaker, and Ironmonger had
goods seized for non-payment of tithes in 1683. He was assessed for 3 Hearths in
1674. Though the crossed swords are part of the Cutlers’ Arms they might be
appropriate for the trade of ironmonger.
