Under "Can you name this pioneer Sacramentan ?", the Sacramento, CA, Cemetery newsletter publishes a long description of the good deeds of: Dr. Thomas Muldrop LOGAN (b. 1813 in Charleston - d.1876 in Sacramento, CA) If anyone is interested, I can type it to the list H. Frost Prioleau Piedmont, CA hfrost@prioleau.com

Bill; I have not been able to find any passenger list into Charleston for that time period, either. Perhaps you already know that if you are looking for German families who came to Charleston in the 1840's, there is a very good chance that they attended the German Evangelical Lutheran Church (now St. Matthew's) founded in 1840 for German immigrants. What surnames are you trying to find? I know there are several VOIGHTs in the records. If they did not stay in Charleston, they may have gone to Walhalla, SC (St. John's Lutheran) with many of the German immigrants.

There is record of Michael Huntsinger arriving in Charles Town on the Britinnica in c. 1768 that m. a Catherine Leitner at St. John's Lutheran in 1784. Does anyone know of this family? Thank you, Joy

Here is a site you can use to find people buried in Magnolia. Bill http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lake/3577/charlestonmagnoliacemrec.html

We'd like some information on this KKBE Synagogue in Charleston. Our ggggrandmother Judith E. OSLER is buried in the Synagogue cemetary. We don't know her maiden name and wonder if anyone has any suggestions for finding this out. Her parents were German and Judith was born in Charleston. Her husband Henry E. OSLER was buried in Magnolia cemetary. Joanne

Spring St. still exits in Charleston..it is on the edge of town and is a main throughfare. My GGrandma lived at 62 B Spring St in the late 1800's

Hi Mary Alice, The Horlbeck's were indeed fellow German Lutheran's. George Vilhauer (23 Jan 1718/19- 2 Apr 1796) born in Wirtemberg, Germany had two known daughters, Anna Catherina Vilhauer, born abt 1753 and died 3 May 1819, married Peter Horlbeck before 1770, son of Peter and Elizabeth Horlbeck. George's second daughter, Dorothea Ann Vilhauer, married Jacob Sass, my ancestor. I have information on both these families from the old German St. John's Lutheran Church records if anyone is interested. Lynn Pickett

Re address for this historic church in Charleston St. John's Lutheran Church Attention: History Committee 5 Clifford Street Charleston, SC 29401 (803) 723-2426 * * * * Also, the Mormon Church has microfilmed the church archives - in the original German and in English - plus the Churchyard Cemetery Inscriptions. Contact a local (Mormon) Family History Center to order for a nominal postage fee. Sometimes other family connections can be found when reviewing the microfilmed archives/cemetery records, etc. * * * * Mary Alice

WILL YOU PLEASE POST THE ADDRESS FOR ST JOHN"S LUTHERAN CHURCH. PERHAPS THEY WILL HAVE INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO MY " BEHRENS & SCHMIDT FAMILIES ", ( MY GERMAN ANCESTORS ) THANKS, CJK

PATRICIA Thank you for the info re sw cor King and Queen Street- shop of Thomas Sigwald, cabinet-maker, 1806. I thought must be modern building since no photo in the King Street tour. Re St. John's Lutheran Church in Charleston. They have a wonderful History Committee - I would highly recommend to anyone on list researching German - speaking immigrants in the early Colonial era. When I first contacted the church several years ago, regarding my paternal gggrandfather (John Christian Sigwald) they provided the names of his father (Thomas Sigwald, the cabinet maker) and his grandfather (Christian Sigwald, the original immigrant from Alsace, France arriving Charleston about 1750). Thomas and Christian were apparently buried in unmarked graves in the Churchyard. . Thomas' widow was the Mary Ann Sigwald who lived at 6 Burns Lane (later called 10 Burns Lane ) for thirty years. From 1835 per City Directory until her death in 1865. At one time her oldest son lived on Boundary (Calhoun) Street - wonder if the back yards joined. Perhaps Burns Lane was ALWAYS a narrow street or alley. Interesting that other property on Burns Lane was owned by the Horlbecks (possibly fellow German Lutherans?) PATRICIA THANKS AGAIN Mary Alice

Re St. Phillip's and St. Michael's I am still looking for the northern boundary line of St. Phillips and St. Michaels Parishes (City of Charleston) and St. James, Goose Creek (in the country). (This is to locate property I believe was in suburban Charleston in 1852.) I recently found a map showing St. Paul's, St. Andrew's and St. George's boundary markers - but I can't determine the exact boundary line for St. Phillip's and St. Michael's. Did the parish (political) line move with the City Limits ?? Originally located at Boundary (Calhoun) Street? Then at Mount Pleasant Street after 1849? THANKS Mary Alice

Looking for marriage record of Rev. George Anderson of GA and Ann Esther Pressley of Charleston (daughter of William Pressley and Eliza Adams). Marriage probably took place around 1830-1835. Their first child born in 1836. Thanks for any help. Janyce in California

Can anyone tell me where Spring St. in Charleston is/was. My Great,Great grandfather, Thomas A. Johnson is listed on the 1850 Census with his wife Rebecca, and 2 children, Alice and Rebecca. The Charleston City Directory lists him as living at 39 Spring St. Thanks, Jean

Could anyone tell me if there might be a Hymes family living in Charleston in 1850. The family should have a son Henry, a son Hyam and a daughter Rebecca. The names of parents are unknown. As you might guess, the family was Jewish. Was there a Jewish 'section' in Charleston? Thanks so much! Edie in Atlanta

Hi Edie; The Hyams family qualifies you to join both the St. Philip's and King Street block parties that we are having.
