William King, revised

It has happened again.  After working for days, and finally deciding I have a profile figured out, I find new information that totally changes everything!  In this case, the post about William King.  This new information is more logical than what I had before.

Here’s the revised post for William King of England.

William King, my 11th ggf, was born in 1520 in Cheshire, England.  He is the son of Sir Thomas King and Johanna Beauchamp.  (The woman who was his first wife is now his mother.)  Sir Thomas was born about 1490 in Thame, Oxfordshire, England, the son of John King (1415-1475).  Johanna’s revised date of birth is 1500 and she died about 1560.  She is the daughter of the Earl of Warwick.

Revising Johanna’s date of birth and making her William’s mother, allows William to marry Margaret Ferrers without so many conflicts.  Now to see if I can find more information about Margaret!
