Benjamin King, Jr

Question

I have a missing connection to one of my ancestors. WikiTree shows Benjamin King (1722-abt. -1777)  as having only two children: Samuel (1763-1816)and Sarah (Hewett) King (1754-1837). However, on Ancestry.com I see that he had a son Benjamin Jr. (1749-1801). Both appear to be direct descendants of mine in the  King family tree. Can anyone shed any light on this or clarify any mistakes or missing relationships to Benjamin Jr?

Thanks! Bill Tarbox
