Joseph was the son of Harmanus King,a native of Holland, and Mercy King. His parents migrated from Long Island to Burlington Co.,NJ in 1699 where he was born in Nottingham.
His wife's name, Mercy, may have been Anglicized to Mary, as well may have been as his grandmother's.
They had six children, John, Mary, Joseph, Benjamin, Francis and Thomas. Joseph King, Sr. married Mercy Nicholson. They had 3 children, Joseph, William, b.April 1, 1714, and Hannah King.
"A testimonial at the time of death and burial of Joseph King, Senior: Our Ancient friend and Elder Joseph King departed this life, the tenth day of the twelfth month 1761 in the seventy-eighth year of his age, and was interred in Friends Burying Ground at Kingwood,eleventh day of the same month. He was not, as could be perceived, attended with any violent illness; and he departed quietly as one going to sleep. He was esteemed amongst us,to be an honest sober, innocent well-minded man.
A good and inoffensive neighbor, well-beloved by Friends, and others, for which reason he was appointed an Elder amongst us before our Select Meeting was settled here; and for the same reasons hath been continued an elder amongst us ever since until his death; and we doubt not but that he is gone to eternal rest." Copied from Kingwood Records by Josephine Pursell, Oct. 2, 1899

Memorial # 36593216 for "H. King" is more than likely the gravesite of Harmanus King, the immigrant from Holland, and father of Joseph. The monument is very rustic an without detail. I will not suggest a link, as we cannot be certain without records.
