  LifeSketch	When John King died in 1753, the newspapers recorded that he died at the age of 105, and had been born in "Old England." John King is said to have been living in Eastham, Massachusetts, by 1686. He and his wife Bathshuah Snow King were admitted to the Brewster Church on 14 September 1701. He signed a receipt with other heirs of Stephen Snow, his father-in-law, on 21 May 1706. John King bought lands at Harwich from the Indians on 11 May 1711 and was \"proprietor\" there. In March of 1725, he was chosen to keep the boys of Harwich from \"playing and profaning the Sabbath.\" After Bathshuah\'s death, John married Mary Clark on 14 October 1707 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, Massachusetts. He married Hannah Hamblin in 1714, and Rachel Nickerson in 1737. The \"Boston Post Boy\", on 25 June 1753, recorded \"We are informed from Harwich in County of Barnstable that Mr. John King lately died there, aged 105 years; he was born in Old England and lived in Harwich about 70 years.\" John King\'s last will and testament was dated 18 November 1752 and proved 1 May 1753. The will mentioned his \"beloved wife\" but did not give her name. The will also mentions heirs of son Samuel, heirs of son John, heirs of daughter Joanna Cole, grandson Stephen King, son Roger, son Ebenezer, and daughter Bathshuah Ryder. John King\'s son filed an account on 5 February 1754.
