MARRIAGE: Marriage to Elizabeth was before 10 Feb 1816. Based on letter from
Horace Rudisill to a Mrs. King in Florence, dated Sept. 13, 1965, George King
sold land to Maurice Hunter on that date and Elizabeth his wife signed with an "X".
Although Mr. Rudisill is correct on the date of the deed, the relinquishing of
dower was signed 26 Aug 1818 and the deed was recorded on that date. He was administrator
of a Sarah King's estate (See Prob 459, Darlington County, SC-10 Jul 1818). The
connection of this Sarah has not been determined. It could be a daughter or an
Aunt. It is not his wife, Sarah.
NOTE: George King md first Sarah Hill, dau of Isaac Hill. An Isaac Hill was in
Bertie County, NC ca 1722-1754. See Mary Bell Best; Colonial Bertie County, NC;

estate, Rev. George King, Administrator, dated 25 Aug 1818; Darlington County,

Notes for Elizabeth WILLIAMS
DEED: Surrendered dowry in sale of real estate. Deed states that she was the
wife of George King. Lowndes County, AL, Deed BK 2, page 495.
CHURCH: Joined Bethany Primitive Baptist Church (Dale (later Coffee) County,
AL) in Mar 1837. Minutes indicated that she died in 1848.
CENSUS: U. S. Census, Dale County, AL 1840, page 10. Note: Lived between George
P. King and Augustus King. 1 male 5-10 and 2 males 10-15, 2 males 15-20 and 1
female 40-50 enumerated in the household with Elizabeth King.
DEATH: Recorded in minutes of Bethany Primitive Baptist Church as 1848.
NOTE: The Capt. George King file in the collection of the Darlington County Historical
Commission has two question marks questioning the accuracy of "Williams" as
Elizabeth's surname. It appears that she was Widow Sexton when she married George
King and comments from the TX descendants that they moved to TX because they
did not like her Stanley children indicates a potential Stanley marriage too.

NOTE: Possibly Butler Williams who was a member of the Bethel Primitive Baptist
Church, Montgomery County, AL with wife Sarah or it could be Joseph Williams
also a member of that church. The Charles Polk King Family Bible states that
she was the daughter of John Williams and Ann Gurthrie Williams. THIS HAS NOT
BEEN PROVEN and it appears to me more likely that she is a child of either Butler
Williams or Joseph Williams.

Notes for Capt. George KING
SOURCE: Jill Lyles, McBee, SC through her genealogical research in Darlington
County, SC states that Capt. George was the father of John King, who died in
Darlington County in 1818, James King, Rev. George King, William King who died
in Darlington ca 1820 and Henry King who went to Alabama. See letter dated 18
Oct 1995. Also see FGR prepared by Mrs. Frances Oliver.
NOTE: The Kolb family history chart and the more consistent genealogical information
reflects Mary Kolb as the wife of Capt. George King with children: George, Henry,
William, James, Hannah, and Sarah. Horace Rudisill, Executive Director of the
Darlington Historical Commission, in a letter dated 13 Sep 1965, stated that
the George King (referring to Rev. George King) was the son of Capt. George.
SOURCE: Date of Death recorded in Diary of Evan Pugh.
NOTE: A Sgt. George King served on a military expedition from Craven County to
Fort Prince George in Capt. Hitchcock's Company in the 1759-1760 Expedition.
Also of note, a Joseph King (RIN 20799) of the Welsh Neck Tract served on an
Expedition to Fort Prince George in Capt. George Hick's Company in 1760. A Joseph
King owned land in the Welsh Neck Tract in 1754. The relationship of Joseph King
and George King has not been determined.
NOTE: A George King, William King, and Joseph King lived in Anson County, NC
ca 1750. A Joseph King owned land adj to a John Kimbrough in 1751. [A John Kimbrough
had earlier owned land in Bertie County previously owned by Michael King.] A
John Kimbrough md a dau of Johannes Kolb who was father of Capt. George King's
wife Mary. A John King was living in Anson County in 1770. For ref see Mary Bell
Best; Brent Holcomb; Anson County North Carolina Deeds and Wills; pages 3, 21,
38, 39 and 75.
SOURCE: See e-mail message from Ella Byrd to Bill King dated 26 Dec 2002 states
that Capt. George King was a son of Henry King from Lunenburg County, VA and
emigrated to SC via Granville, County, NC, Anson County, NC and to Cheraw District,
SC. "As recorded in the Council of Safety Papers (Now in the custody of
S. C. Historical Society, Fireproof Building in Charleston, SC) on 20 Feb 1776.
George King commissioned as Captain in Colonel G. G. Powell's Regiment of Militia,
St. David's Parish, on 28 Sep 1775." Virginia Oliver filed that data with
the Darlington County Historical Commission, but in later letters to Horace Rudisill
stated that her subsequest research confirmed that the Henry King in Lunenburg
County, VA was not the father of Capt. George King and that the George King in
Granville County, NC was not the Capt. George King of Darlington County. By the
marks, that George King was living in VA or NC during the period this Capt. George
King was living in Cheraw District, SC.
