  General Notes:

JAMES KING died a very young adult leaving two young daughters. His wife SUSANNAH (CHICK) KING was pregnant with their third child at the time he made his will. Estate and deed records show that their later born son was JAMES KING. There is no later mention of SUSANNAH (CHICK) KING, the widow of JAMES. It is likely she died as well.
