Creating profile for Walter King (1625-1703), relation of Esther King (~1650-1710)

Question

I'm looking for permission and guidance in the creation of a profile for Walter King (1625-1703), who was plausibly related to ─ perhaps the father of ─ Esther King (~1650-1710). The rationale for this family connection is documented in:

Carousso, Dorothee Hughes. "Esther KING of Philadelphia & Bucks Counties and her Bowyer, Lynn and Elfreth Children". The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Vol. XXIV, No. 4, 1966. Retrieved 09 May 2022 from The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania at https://genpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/PGM-Volume-24-Number-4.pdf.

Walter King (1625-1703) was a Quaker from Somerset, England. He was one of the original purchasers of Pennsylvania land (1000 acres) from William Penn, and a member of the Free Society of Traders. He lived in Philadelphia during the 1680's and represented Philadelphia County in the Pennsylvania Assembly, but had returned to Somerset by 1690, where he died.

In 1663 in Bristol, he married Margaret Prince (possibly Bristol-born Prince-4504?). As he was then 38, he may well have made an earlier marriage which produced Esther ca 1650.

The assistance and collaboration of any and all will be most welcome!

P.S. I'll also want to be editing the profile for Esther King and creating or editing profiles for pre-1700 relations of hers.

I can't give you permission but I work in this time and space on the tree. Anyone pre-1700 authorized can edit and create profiles. 

You have a good source in hand. Do you have access to Ancestry?  You will want to look there at their Philadelphia wills abstracts and the digitized Quaker meeting records. There's other content for Philly that's free, particularly the superb https://philadelphiacongregations.org/records/.

You could add "quakers" to this tag to get some more attention.

You can also chat with the profile manager since she's active, but adding quality sources does not require permission, particularly as there is not much content on the profile currently.

Thank you for the great tips re: sources!
