HISTORY OF SURRY
KING
1. THOMAS F.' KING was taxed 1868-1871 inclusive. He boarded in the family of John Kingsbury; was quite an old gentleman at the time.
KINGSBURY
*This name is an ancient one, and takes us back to the days of the Saxon Kings-that is, as the name of a place. There are four places in England by the name of Kingsbury. The family was quite numerous in Suffolk and Essex Counties, England, during the sixteenth century. The name appears in many forms, as Kingsburye, Kingsberry, Kingesburie, Kyngsburye, Kingesbarey, Kingesbery, Chingesberie, etc.
The probable line of descent in England is as follows:
1. JOHN' KINGESBURYE who d. 1539; bur. in the St. Andrews church- yard.
2. JOHN' KINGESBURYE, the younger, of Edwardston; living in 1578.
3. JAMES" KINGSBURYE of Boxford; d. 1590; m. Agnes - who d. 1602.

Elizabeth. v. Sarah. vi. Joseph of Dedham, Mass. (5). vii. Thomas whose son Henry settle in Haverhill, Mass. viii. Alyce.
§5. JOSEPH5 KINGSBURY (the probable line, James', James3, John2 John1) was b. in (or near) Assington, Suffolk Co., England; m. in England Millicent (Ames ?); came to America about 1630; d. Dedham, Mass., May 1676. He will be generation "No. one" in our American family. They had the following ch .: i. Sarah2. ii. Mary. iii. Elizabeth. iv. Joseph. v. John. vi Eleazer. vii. Nathaniel. (6)

*Record from Kingsbury Genealogy, 1905, by Mary Kingsbury Talcott.
§So far as known, the date Joseph1 Kingsbury came to America is unknown and the maiden name of his wife (AMES) has never been established from reliable documentary evidence, to the author's knowledge. It is understood that the name of "Ames" first appeared in print in America in the Boston Transcript, about 1890.
