      Thomas King emigrated to the United States in either 1638 or 1639. He settled in Sudbury, MA. In 1642 the town ordered that Thomas King would have the power to view the river and agreed with the workmen to build a cart bridge over it.

      In 1650 Thomas owned Lot 50 in the southwest quadrant of a two mile grant. In 1656 he petitioned the court for an 8 square mile tract of land, 8 miles from Sudbury. This became the town of Marlborough.

      Thomas King was very active in civic affairs. He was elected one of the first selectman on 25 February 1656. He held that office until 1665. He was elected town constable in 1661 and 1662. Along with four other officers, he was responsible for laying out the highways in town.

      Thomas received a 39.5 acre lot in town on 26 November 1660. In an inventory dated 6 April 1665, he also held 19.75 acres in the second division of upland 16 acres and 2 rods of second division meadows and 19.75 rods of first division cedar swamp. He received a further 5.25 acres on 27 July 1665.
