Mike Brown's History of Walkhampton webpages record the history of a piece of land known as 'The Filley'. It is noted that by 1740, the land was held by Richard King, on the lives of Margaret King and William Williams junior and at a rent of 13s-4d and a heriot of £1-13s-4d. Presumably Margaret is the wife of Richard, since the child named Margaret would not have been born by this time.
By 1780, John King was presented at the manor court as the prospective tenant of The Filley which he became in 1783, on the lives of his brother Richard King (age 50) and his son Walter King (age 12). Another new lease was issued on 27 October 1783, presumably to the same lessee but for one life in reversion of two. In 1795, the lives were John King the lessee aged 65 and Walter King aged 24.
Thus the biographical details tie up quite well, but not perfectly, with this family, since brother Richard died 1784 - perhaps signs of ill health caused the reversion of lives on the 1783 lease.
