Surnames: KING, KOLB, COLEMAN, WITHERINGTON, FOUNTAIN, JOHNSON. Searching for ANY researchers having info of the following WILLIAM KING family of Darlington, SC. William King had brothers John King, Sr. (married Patience Speight ) and James King Sr. (married Catherine Coleman). Catherine Coleman was the daughter of Rev. James Coleman & Rachel Kolb of Darlington. NOTE: William King is said to have been buried on the Fountain Homeplace in Darlington, SC. Elizabeth King (maiden name not known; wife of William King) migrated to Conecuh County, AL in early 1820's following William's death in SC along with John King Jr. and Rev.
