Florence Bootel was born bef. 1655 ?Sampford Spiney, DEV, ENG.¹
Florence Bootel married John King, son of Elizabeth UnknownSurname, on 2 Aug 1675 Sampford Spiney, DEV, ENG, NB the Dartmoor Press webpage has this couple as marrying 2 Aug 1625, but the actual entry reads "John King & fflorance Bootel was married on the 2th (sic) day of August 1675", so for now, I've assumed that the intervening generation of a Robert and Ann that Mike B had between John/Florence and John/Elizabeth, doesn't exist.^1,2 Florence King was buried on 19 Jan 1689 Walkhampton, DEV, ENG

, being described as a widow.³
