"Generally known as the "Back Swamp Community" within a radius of about seven miles there are over sixty sites of significant importance, Old Darlington District, the area could well be deemed one of the cradles of South Carolina History."

Abel Culp. Col. Abel Kolb's name was spelled Abel Kolb, not Culp. He is buried beside the Great Pee Dee River just upstream from the U.S. 15 bridge in Marlboro County, SC. Across the River from Society Hill, SC.

Site of William Standard's grave is uncertain at this time, as late as 1890, there was a cleared field in the fork of Back Swamp and a small branch known as "Standard's old field". Darlington News 5-12-1892 stated "on the farm of Mr. W. E. Dargan there are two Indian Mounds - one of them is in the lower part of Mr. Dargan's field and has been plowed over for many years. Quantities of Indian relics covered the ground......"Not far from this mound was the grave of Maj. Standard of Revolutionary War fame and that part of the plantation was known as the Standard old field." About a third of a mile east of this mound in the fork of Black Swamp and Alligator creeks was the other mound surrounded on all sides by swamp. It was from five to eight feet high and covered between an eight and a quarter of an acre."

The earliest record of William Standard in Edgecombe co. NC that I have seen is in ABSTRACTS OF WILLS EDGECOMBE CO. NC by Williams and Griffin: on 13 Nov. 1761 he witnessed the will of Thomas Goodson; that same year he bought a lot in Tarboro. He married Dorothy Jones in Edgecombe on 7 Jan. 1763; by 10 May 1764 he witnessed a sale in Craven Co., SC between Abraham Odom and Matthew Gibbs:Langley, SC DEED ABSTRACTRS 1719-1772, VOL. 4. Daniel may have been there at the same time, atthough really the only record I have seen is his being security for William's wedding. We know Rachel was there in 1762 as she married Abel Waddill then.

***********************************
Marlboro County was created in 1798 from Cheraws District, which was created in 1769 and discontinued. The county seat for Marlboro is the city of Bennettsville which was founded in 1819 and named after Governor Thomas Bennett.

Marlboro County has always been largely agricultural and remains so today. Legend has it that the land is so rich it once sold by the pound instead of the acre. Marlboro was once one of South Carolina's wealthiest counties, and Bennettsville and Clio contain many beautiful homes from the county's gracious past. The Jennings Brown House, now part of the Marlboro County Historical Museum's holdings, was built in 1827 by one of Bennettsville's first doctors. The house served as headquarters for Major General Frank P. Blair during the Union occupation of Bennettsville in 1865. The Marlboro County Courthouse served as headquarters for General William Tecumseh Sherman.

The town of Blenheim is famous for its Mineral Spring. For generations, people came from nearby towns to drink the water, and Dr. C.R. May from Bennettsville is reputed to have prescribed the spring water for stomach ailments. His "doctored up" formula was bottled as a fiery blend of ginger ale in 1903.

Marlboro County is on the North Carolina border and is contiguous with Scotland and Richmond Counties, NC. In South Carolina, Marlboro County is contiguous with Dillon, Florence, Darlington, and Chesterfield Counties.

If you have roots in Marlboro County, you should be aware that many Marlboro County ancestors can be found in Robeson County, North Carolina records.

Chesterfield County was formed by the County Court Act of 1785, when Cheraw District was divided into Chesterfield, Darlington, and Marlboro counties. Textbooks will tell you that Chesterfield County was named after Lord Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope, a close friend of George III; however, local tradition states that the Craig family, who originally inhabited the county seat, was influential in naming the county after the county from which they came, Chesterfield County, Virginia. Population grew slowly with Welch, French Huegenots, Scotch-Irish, Germans, and English moving in mostly from other of the colonized areas.

The Witherspoon property was across the road from William Standard's property, they were neighbors. From Albion's Seed, p. 664 he discusses the migration from North Britain to the backcountry and that it became a movement of clans.

"A case in point was the family of Robert Witherspoon, a South Carolinian of Border-Scots descent. Witherspoon recalled: ""My grandfather and grandmother were born in Scotland abouth the year 1670. They were cousins and both of one name. His name was John and hers was Janet. They lived in their younger years in or near Glasgow and in 1695 they left Scotland and settled in Ireland in the county of Down....where he lived in good circumstances and in good credit until the year 1734, (when) he removed with his family to South Carolina.""

When Witherspoon used the word "family" he meant not merely a nuclear or extended family but an entire clan. His grandparents, their seven children, at least seventten grandchildren and many uncles and cousins all sailed from Belfast Lough to America and settled together in the same part of the southern backcountry. Witherspoon described their exodus in detail:

""We did not all come in one ship nor at one time. My uncles William, James and David Wilson, and their families with Uncle Gavin left Belfast in the beginning of the year 1732 and Uncle Robert followed us in 36."" (Src: Robert Witherspoon, "Recollections", in H. Roy Merrens, ed. The South Carolina Scene: Contemporary Views, 1697-1774 (Columbia, SC 1977), 124. For another description of clan migration, see Parton, Life of Andrew Jackson, I, 46.).

Here was a classic example of serial migration or stream migration which was comon in the peopling of the backcountry. A few clan members opened a path for others, and werefollowed by a steady stream of kin.

These North British border clans tended to settle together in the American backcountry. An example was the Alexander clan. In North Carolina's Catawba County, the first United States Census of 1790 listed 300 nuclear families named Alexander."
