THE SNOW ROWAND, November 27, 1752
It is agreed by all SC Risinger researchers that Johann Georg Reissinger was the immigrant Risinger. Below is his petition for land taken from "Petitions For Land From South Carolina Council Journals" by Brent Holcombe located at the SC Archives. This is the ONLY Risinger that arrived in SC from Germany.

Alexander Fran, bound to this place, and has payed for his passage to Mr. John McCALL and desired to settle with his family in this province, that the petitioner has a wife and three children viz Tomfit 10 years, Margaret 8 and Mary 8 years and never had any land granted to him, prays to lay out 250 acres of land free of charges and that he may have his most gracious majesty's bounty. Charles Towne, the 27th day of November 1752. John Geo: Reissinger. The prayer thereof was granted.
