I just was invited to join this group, so thought I'd start a discussion. I've done a lot of research on this line of my family, it being my paternal grandmother's maiden name. Heinrich/Henry is my 6x-great grandfather. He immigrated in July 1735, possibly arrivingon the Ship St. Andrew, Capt. Peter Robinson; or with Capt. Hugh Percy into Charlestown (as it was then spelled).
On 13 Oct 1737, he was granted 350 acres and lot 50 in Berkley county, SC.
" . . . laid out unto Henry Snell, a tract of lands in the limits of the township of Orangeburgh on the NE side of Pow Pow River in Berkley County containing three hundred and fifty acres butting & bounding to the NE & SE on land not yet laid out, to the SW on land belonging to Henry Horger, & to the Northwest on land laid out to Bartholomew Gortman & hath such shape form and marks as appears by the above plat. Certified the 13th day of October 1737. Certified by G. Hunter, 8 Nov 1743. George Haig, Surveyor." Plat shows Bull Swamp running through land, and land being bordered by pine and hickory. (Town lot was on the western corner of Wragg & Fenwicke Streets, adjacent to the town lots of Henry Foust and Jacob Kummerton -- per Julian D. Kelly.)
I descend through his son Barnett/Barnard who married Susanna Elisabetha SCHULER.
