Beat died in South Carolina, you will need to look for his burial location in that state. This list is for Georgia Cemeteries. Thanks, Winn Rebsamen, Hans b: 21 DEC 1727 in Turbenthal, Canton Zurich, Switzerland d: 5 JUL 1797 in Richland County, South Carolina Rebsamen, Beat b: 14 MAY 1720 in Turbenthal, Canton Zurich, Switzerland d: 24 OCT 1782 in Camden District, Kershaw County, South Carolina Turnipseed, Felix b: 22 SEP 1789 in Camden District, Kershaw County, South Carolina d: 22 FEB 1866 in Newberry County, South Carolina Turnipseed, Felix B. b: 18 FEB 1830 Hans (John) Rebsamen immigrated in 1751 with his brother Beat Rebsamen. Hans arrived on the ship "Nptune". He applied for a "headright" of 50 acres, stating that he was a foreign Protestant. He received a grant on Broad Creek on April 6, 1753 which had been surveyed on May 1, 1752. On May 14, 1764 he received 150 acres on the north side of Broad River and in December 3, 1766, 100 more acres on the Little River. He filed a claim for services provided during the Revolutionary War stating that on February 15, 1782 he fed nine men and guarded nine horses belonging to the regiment of Colonel Hopkins. On March 13, 1782, he sold bacon and flour to a group belonging to General Pickin's Regiment. He was involved in an attempt to incorporate a Lutheran church on Cedar Creek in 1782 and 1787. In 1790 he was living in Camden Dristrict, Richland County, South Carolina and using the name John Turnipseed. The word "rebsamer" apparently translates approximately as "turnipseed". He died at home in July 1797 leaving a widow and seven children. Another Turnipseed/Rebsamen family,that of Beat Rebsamen, is often confused with that of Hans or John Rebsamen. Apparently Beat and Hans were brothers and immigrated at the same time. Beat Rebsamen married Margreta Kinsler and lived on the Broad River in Camden District. He died October 1782 and left a will that listed his children. The will gave Hans Beat 150 acres, Jacob Turnipseed 200 acres, Felix Turnipseed 250 acres and his daughter Maria Margreta, who married Phillip Shaver, 150 Pounds in South Carolina currency. Another son, Samuel, is also on the list. Individuals of this family used the same names as that of Hans. They or their descendants left South Carolina and moved west to Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi in what was known as "The Great Migration".
