Thank you Martin & DOB7, I made a silly mistake whan I mentioned Stoke Demeral being in Portsmouth I knew it was Plymouth as I had found some other details. Regarding Richard King, he certainly had children when he sailed on the same ship as Mary Ann (nee king) and Sampson Marshall. Some good info from another person who wrote a note about Sampson Marshall ...."With his wife and 6 of their remaining 7 children (Richard Purvis stayed behind until 1837) he left London on 10th July 1834 aboard the "David Scott" arriving in Sydney, Australia on 25th October 1834. Also on board was his brother-in law, Richard King with his wife and their 5 children. I will do some more hunting here to find Richard King and family members. I do know that Sampson Marshall & Mary Ann had 4 children in Hatherleigh prior to more in London and Australia. I think the Richard King & Creston Down mentioned by DOB7 could have been the parents of Richard King.
