apr 28, 1781 - Death of Abel Kolb

Description:

Loyalist Capt. Joseph Jones, infuriated at Col. Abel Kolb for Drowning Creek and Hulin's Mill, assembled some fifty men at Maidendown Bay (in present-day Marion County) and rode towards the Pee Dee River. Capt. Jones and his men surrounded Col. Kolb's home and yelled for him to come outside, which he soon did. Walking out the front door, one of Jones's men promptly shot Col. Kolb in front of his wife and children. Capt. Jones then plundered the home and burned it.
