EARLY GERMAN SETTLERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
compiled by Siegbert Frick & Carl W. Nichols
INTRODUCTION
Between the years 1730 and 1766 the Colonial government of South Carolina actively encouraged immigration of foreign Protestants to the Province. Appreciable numbers of immigrants from Germany began to arrive in the 1740s. The year 1752 represented the peak of the migration with an estimated 1800 German settlers who arrived on several ships in the fall of that year. Saxe-Gotha, Amelia, Salkehatchie, and the fork of the Broad and Saluda (Dutch Fork) became largely German settlements. The Dutch Fork was the most densely settled, becoming home to 483 settler families by 1760, almost all of whom were of German origin (E. B. Hallman, “Early Settlers in the Carolina Dutch Fork 1744-1760”, Master’s Thesis, Wofford College). It has been estimated that by the year 1765 there were 7500-8000 Germans and German-Swiss who had come to the province of South Carolina (R. L. Meriwether, “Expansion of South Carolina, 1730-1765”).
This webpage is dedicated to promoting knowledge about the history of the German migration to South Carolina. At present there is no published list of German immigrants to South Carolina. The following compilation is a "work in progress" and is offered in the hope that it will be useful to both Historian and Genealogist. Additions to the list from researchers are welcomed.
The church records of German towns and villages are the main source of emigration information. These records are available to the public on microfilm. Mr. Siegbert Frick, a native of the Reutlingen area, has kindly provided information for this web page on many emigrants from the Reutlingen and Ulm areas of Baden-Württemberg. Facilities of the Hauptstaatsarchiv in Stuttgart and the Generallandesarchiv in Karlsruhe were used in his research. Many of the emigrants in the following list have not been identified in previous publications. Printed publications that have been helpful in compiling this list of German emigrants are cited at the end of the list.
HOW TO USE THIS LIST
LINE ONE of each entry contains the name of the emigrant (individual or head of the family), followed by actual or estimated date of emigration, then followed by town of origin and zip code.
GERMAN CHURCH RECORDS. The name and location of each emigrant is followed by a summary of information taken from the German Church record. Information includes birth and marriage dates, when available. Names of children are listed who were living at the time of emigration.
SC RECORDS are summarized from the Colonial record. This information begins a new line following the German Church record. In many cases it is possible to compare names and dates found in the German record with the SC immigration record given in the Colonial SC Journal of the Council. The name of the ship that the immigrant arrived on and names and ages of family members are given where possible. Acreage of their bounty grant and its location appear last.
