Constable in 1671A record of warranty deed in Bristol County registry, shows that on the 20th day of July,1683, Jared Talbutt of New Plymouth with free consent from Sarah, in consideration of two hundred and twenty pounds, conveyed to Philip King of Weynouth, all his housing and lands within the township of Taughton, being a neck of land of 60 acres, more or less bounded by land of John Hall, Walter Dean,Nathaniel Williams, Toughton Great River with a little island belonging to said neck: also a dwelling house with forty acheres of land, there to belonging. The witnesses to this instrument were John Richmond and Thomas King. The latter was probably the brother Of Philip, and who had perhaps the previous year become a resident, and the former was one of the proprietors of the township.

Very little is known of Philip King prior to his coming to Taoughton. Public records show him to have been Constable in in 1671, and show some land transactions in 1671 and 1672, also show that a town meeting in Weymough November 27,1882 he was named one of a large committee to consider the advisability of building a new meeting house or rejuvenation the old one.--------Nancy King and Metella King
