About Eldad Kingsley
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/9SL1-1GK
Reverend
He lived in Rehoboth, Mass. in 1663 and helped Rev. John Miles organize the First Baptist Church of Mass. He was an elder in the Church of Rehoboth. He, with several others, seized a church whose pastor had died, and turned it into a Baptist Church. The Plymouth Court took action, charged the seven men with disturbing the peace by setting up a separate worship. They were each fine 5 pounds and ordered to leave town or lose their property.
His home in Swansea was later burned by the Indians in the King Philip's War. In later days he paid taxes in both Swansea and Rehoboth.

When Eldad Kingsley was born in 1638 at Dorchester in the Massachusetts Bay Colony,[1] his father, John, was 24 and his mother, Elizabeth, was 25. He was baptized at the First Church in Dorchester that year.[2]
He married Mehitabel Mowry on May 9, 1662, in Providence, Rhode Island. They had seven children in 16 years. He died on August 30, 1679, in Swansea, Massachusetts, at the age of 41.
