Asenath King
American, 1764 - 1859
One record might lend some authority for Asenath's identity, and that is a West Springfield marriage intention entered and published for James Rising, Jr. (ca. 1758-16 November 1842), of West Suffield, Connecticut, and Sena or Lena King of West Springfield, Massachusetts, on 13 September 1787. The published version of the West Springfield records indexes the bride under both given names, but implies that Sena is the more valid interpretation. If this is true, and if "Sena" is short for "Asenath" (which appears to be logical), then this couple married sometime after 13 September 1787. This would make Asenath about 23 at marriage. The record supplies no information on her parents.
