"The contract to build the second meeting house in Taunton was taken by John King. He drew logs and timber on the ice of the Taunton River and landed them at Barney Hill, a little this side of the village. That house was three stories high, containing, like the old South in Boston, two tiers of galleries on three sides. It was built in 1729. The expense of the house much exceeded his expectations and to make up his loss, the town gave him a present of the "Great Neck", a piece of land so called, in Raynham.

"John, like his father, felt a great interest in the welfare of Indians. He educated two men at his own expense, to become missionaries to their native brethren. Their names were Campbell and Occum." Genealogy of the Families of Kings, Sanford, Taunton, 1866, p. 8.
