8 Robert KING 1699-1734

9 Thomas King


m Martha PAIN/GEORGE 1722

 

 

 

Robert KING was born in 1699 at Wendlebury the son of a blacksmith. 

 

He became a blacksmith like his father and married Martha PAIN, a widow, in the next parish of Bletchingdon when he was 23.  Five children were baptised at Bletchingdon between 1723 and 1734 but two of them died in infancy.

 

Robert himself died when only 35 before his last daughter was baptised.  Martha’s burial has not been found in Bletchingdon, and she may have been buried at Rousham in 1759.

BIRTH

 

Robert KING-7 was of Wendlebury when he married at Bletchingdon in 1726.  Wendlebury is about 4 miles NE of Bletchingdon and there is a suitable baptism there in 1699 giving a marriage age of 23.

 

C 1Oct1699 Robert s Thomas  & Margaret KING  b 27Sep1699

 

That this is the correct baptism is supported by Thomas's trade of blacksmith (shown by his burial record), which was continued by Robert as shown by his marriage licence

 

 

MARRIAGE

 

John KING-7 was baptised at Bletchingdon in 1726, son of Robert & Martha; a series of baptisms to these parents is preceded by the following marriage at Bletchingdon:

 

m 12May1722 Robert KING of Wendlebury & Martha PAIN wid otp by lic

 

the licence was issued by the Archdeaconry Court:

 

L  3May1722 Robert KING (signed) of Wendlebury, smith, & Martha PAIN of Bletchingdon widow at St Mary Magdalen Oxf or Bletchingdon

            bond: Thomas SYMONDS

 

only one possible PAIN/Martha marriage has been found

 

m 26Apr1713 Edward PAINE of Heyford Warren & Martha GEORGE of Steeple Aston at Steeple Aston

 

Martha KING baptised children up to 1734 so a 1713 first marriage is possible. Steeple Aston and Heyford Warren (more often known as Upper Heyford) are only about 8 miles from Wendlebury and there is a suitable burial of Edward PAIN in 1719 at Bletchingdon, leaving little doubt that these records refer to Martha Pain:

 

B 3Sep1719 Edward PAIN

 

Martha GEORGE was baptised at Steeple Aston 21Oct1690 d of Robt and Anne George
