I need to go through the research that Colleen Johnson did for me as she found that this William King had a secret process of doing something that had to do with manufacturing or making knives, sharpening knives....I can't remember but it is possibly in that file that I need to locate in storage.......

That is the meaning on the death certificate when it listed his burial place as 11 Charter Street Cemetery (Charter Street Cemetery is another name for the Copps Hill Burial Ground) up above the Old North Church.

Description:
            In the early 1800's, Boston, Massachusetts, was one of America's busiest and most vibrant commercial
            ports. It attracted visitors and brought in goods from other ports along the Atlantic coast as well as Europe
            and Asia. A center of banking, shipping, and manufacturing, many of America's first large businesses called
            Boston home. This directory of over 4,600 Boston inhabitants reveals a wide range of people and
            occupations, including bankers, attorneys, fruit vendors, soap boilers, shoe makers, innkeepers, sea captains,
            and grocery merchants. Copied directly from the 1805 Boston City Directory, this database includes first
            name, last name, occupation, and street address of many of Boston's residents and businesses. From the
            street addresses researchers can compare information in this database with census information of the same
            time period. Though this directory lists few women, many fathers and sons are listed together. This is
            especially evident when they shared both a business and an address. This database can be a valuable resource
            for researchers interested in learning more about their ancestors who, in 1805, lived in Boston,
            Massachusetts.

RESEARCH: TO DO
Research the Coronors report...call the office and see where the records would be...
CORONER'S INQUESTS 

Although coroners are often associated with murder, their records should not be overlooked. A coroner may have been called in to investigate deaths occurring under the following circumstances: 
accident, suicide, sudden death when in apparent good health, unattended by a licensed physician at time of death, suspicious or unusual causes, poisoning or adverse reaction to drugs or alcohol, disease constituting a threat to public health, employment related illness or injury, during medical diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, in any prison or penal institution or while in police custody, dead on arrival at hospital, unclaimed bodies, any body 
brought into a new medico-legal jurisdiction without proper medical certification, or any body to be cremated, dissected, or buried at sea.

As with most records, the contents and condition of an individual's inquest file may vary greatly from county to county, and even from year to year.

Many inquest files contain sworn statements made by family and friends of the deceased and any other witnesses present at the time of death or when a body was discovered. A 1935 Chicago inquest, for example, included a form requesting the full name of the deceased along with the person's address, age, sex, marital status, color, birthplace, length of residence in the United States, length of residence in the city, occupation, employer, past occupation, wages or salary due, amount of life insurance and to whom it was payable, value of personal and real estate property, level of education, number of dependents, and 10 questions regarding the decedent's physical and mental health at the time of death.
Personnel in the county coroner's office should be able to provide information on the location of files.

> I am currently looking at three family history films:  Pomfret town > records  1773-1847 FHS#0889322; Pomfret Deeds 1792-1808 FHS #0028667; and  Windsor Co.  Probate Records Vol 10 & 11  FHS# 0029164. I have Probate Records  for  Windsor County (1848) FHS# 0029179 on order.
   
   The Town Records show Daniel King as a Lister (I have no idea what  a Lister  is) on March 26, 1787.  He received a tax abatement on Jan 4, 1790  (Daniel  King  0..4..4..1).  Daniel King was admitted as a member of the
   associated  Religious Society by Benjaman Emmons on Oct 6, 1792.  He received  another tax abatement on March 11, 1793 (Daniel King 2/4).  He was a  highway  surveyor for District No. 7 on March 11, 1794.  He was selected as  a Petit  juror on March 11, 1795.  After 1795, the next mention of Daniel  King is on  March 25, 1805 (Daniel King 3.. 3.. 1/2)  Daniel King probably   moved to  Hartford around 1796 as there is a deed showing Daniel King selling  property  to Christopher Smith in 1796 and the deed mentions that Daniel King  is from  Hartford.  Evidently though Daniel King still maintained some  property in  Pomfret in order to be included in the tax roles.
   The Town Records record information for Solomon King for the first  time on  Sept 9, 1805 with a notation of a new road being surveyed by his  property.  On March 11, 1806 there is a vote to annex Solomon King among
   others as a  part of the North School District.  (Pomfret is getting big at this  time  with new people coming in lots of roads being surveyed and some 17  school  districts.  Today, Pomfret consists of three buildings.)  In March
of 1807,  Solomon is listed among others as having three children in the  Northern  School District.  On March 17, 1808, Solomon King has 4 children in  the  Northern School District, Joseph Spear has 3 and William King has 1
   child in  the school district.  March 13, 1810, Solomon King is selected as a  highway  surveyor for the 14th district.  On March 13, 1821, Solomon signed  a  petition to create a new road near his home.  Solomon King has 7
children in  school in March 1822, 1823 and 1824.  In 1837 Solomon has only one  child  left in school.  I did not find any other references to Solomon's  participation in civic duties. 
The Town Records have a very interesting feature.  Not all of the  town  clerks were diligent, but some of them listed all of the parents  for each  school district and the number of children they had enrolled for  each year.
There are huge gaps in these records but there are blocks of years  where it  is possible to track citizens.  For instance, in 1808 Solomon King,  Joseph  Spear and William King all have children in school in Pomfret. 
There are no  more records until 1822 where Solomon is still listed, but Joseph  Spear is  not and it now shows Lucy not William as having children in school.   This  must have been the time that Joseph moved to Sharon as the deeds  indicate.  William must have died before 1822.   
The Deeds show:  Daniel King and Samuel Marsh both of Hartford selling 3 acres to  Benjamin  Gould for 9 pounds on 22 Oct 1796.  Signed by Samuel Marsh and  Daniel King  and witnessed by George Gould and Samuel Udall, Jr.  Daniel King of Pomfret selling 90 acres in the third division lot  #45 to  Christopher Smith for 120 pounds on March 12, 1796.  Signed by  Daniel King  and witnessed by Samuel Udell and John Crowley.
   Christopher Smith of Pomfret sells to William King of Boston two  acres for  28 dollars on Dec 11th 1801.  Signed by Christopher Smith and  witnessed by  John Throop and Samuel Snow.
   
   William King of Boston in consideration of seven (this figure is  unclear)  hundred dollars paid by Solomon King of Dover, Mass.  1/2 of a  certain tract  of land.  The whole tract contai

Hello Ellie,
It is actually my husband's family on his mothers side.  I do have good information on Solomon and some on his father William, but I am trying to trace William and Anna back.  Below is the information I have on Solomon, it comes from three sources; Pomfret Vermont vital records found in a book edited by Henry Vail, and the Corbin Manuscript; birth and death certificates; and vital records from Dedham.  I will also send you the information I have on William and Anna.

1800 census in Dover, Massachusetts  with his wife and his first-born daughter, but by 1810 he moved with his family to Pomfret, Windsor County, Vermont where he was a farmer and machinist.  He would remain in Pomfret for the rest of his life and is buried in the cemetery north of town.  Pomfret was the home of the King family for  nearly  the next hundred years.  Kings can be found in Pomfret in every census until the 1900 census when the last remnants of the King family are gone from Pomfret.

Windsor, a county in the S. E. central part of Vermont, has an area of  about 1040 square miles. It is bounded on the E. by the Connecticut, and is traversed by the White river and other smaller streams, which furnish abundant waterpower. The surface is generally uneven, and in the W. part mountainous.   Pomfret was chartered by Governor Benning Wentworth on July 8, 1761, to Isaac Dana and his associates, of whom there were sixty-seven. The first proprietors£ meeting was held in Pomfret, Connecticut (this town being named after the one in Connecticut) on September 7, 1761.  The first town  meeting held in Pomfret, Vermont was in March of 1773. John Winchester Dana was chosen clerk and moderator and supervisor.   At one time Pomfret was a bustling community with hundreds of residents; today there are only  three buildings that make up the town, the Library and the Town Clerk£s office being the most prominent.
