Biography

Royal Standard of Ireland 18th Century.

Inscription on Tabitha's Headstone:

Emigrated from Ireland with her husband, Robert King, in 1770. She was the wife, mother, founder and keeper of her household and suffered all the privations of the pioneer wife, in addition to caring for her 23 children. To commemorate the memory of this noble woman this stone is erected by her only surviving grandson in 1929.

From the memoirs of William James King King-15586:

Grandmother was Irish to the core. Her maiden name was Dolby, related to the Pools. I met the Pool family in 1870 & 71 near Statesville, NC. They were evidently the same family. The older ones had a sister that married a King either in the Old Country, as they all first and last came from Ireland to North America and landed at what is now, or near, Baltimore, MD, or somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay. The same names run in the Pool family as in the Kings- Joe and Robert.
