Thomas King sailed from London 17 Jun 1635 in the ship Blessing at the age of 21 in the company of Mr. William Vassall and family, whose wife was Anna, Thomas’s sister. He built his house on the top of the hill at Bell house neck, a few rods south of Mr. Vassall’s He was admitted to the church 25 Feb 1638.

"Elder King's will, dated 1691 [30 Jun and proved 16 Mar 1692], gives 'to wife Anne—to daughter Sarah Besby land at Gravelly beach—To grandsons John and Thomas Rogers 10 £ each. Item: it is my will that Robin, my negro, be set free, and receive of my estate a bed and 5 £ in money—Item: to son Thomas all my property not otherwise disposed of in New and Old England.'"53
There’s an article on Thomas King in The Great Migration.14 It it is mentioned that Thomas is very likely related to Anne King of Cold Norton, William Vassal’s wife, and Thomas did sail to New England on the Elizabeth along with William Vassal, but Thomas was probably not Anne’s brother since her father, George King, named a son Thomas in his will who “would appear to be too old to be” this Thomas King. Apparently, then, he is less closely realated to George King and his daughter Anne (King) Vassal. His baptism record, then, did not name Thomas’s father.
