Note the following extract from a parish history on the web at http://www.dartmoorpress.clara.net/WalknPropsVillage.html. The quotationis taken from a letter to SIr Ralph Lopes dated 23 Feb 1833:

"The Miller King, after some consideration, hath agreed to accept £132 for his new House near the Mills at Horrabridge...and agrees to rent it at £7 a year, during the term he has in the Mill, which is during his life.

This particular example was chosen with care, for it is not without relevance to one of the lines of research discussed elsewhere. Richard King, then the miller at the Horrabridge Mills, was the gtx3 grandson of John King & Florence Bootel, who had married in Sampford Spiney on the 2nd August 1625, the couple to whom all of the later Barter Kings of Walkhampton owe their ultimate ancestry (as far back as it can be taken) in the paternal line - see the Dittisham section. "

He is identifed as a nephew of John King in his Will written in 1807 and proved in 1815 and receives a legacy of £50.
