Notes
Sarah was the widow of Charles King sr (d.1708) but they were only married in 1703, and her previous name was Jennings. She was probably the widow of George Jennings (bur. 15 Jan 1698/9). William Goodman of Buckingham married Sarah Jennings the daughter at Winslow on 23 May 1715; their son George was bap. 25 Oct 1717. William later ran the Rose and Crown; see his will which was proved in 1749. Sarah Goodman was buried on 11 June 1733.
Henry Firth married Ann Jennings in 1706. Their son George was bap. 28 Dec 1710, and Ann Firth was buried on 23 Jan 1718/19.
