[*Note: I believe that this undated will was written before 1718, because son 
 Arthur died in Mar 1718.  When the will was probated in 1725, Arthur's 
 inheritance "descended to Robert (Jr)" because of the death of Arthur King 
 (my line). He may have actually died in 1694. His wife died 1700/01, and her 
 estate was appraised.]
