Maybe I was too young to notice. There was a big house and the property was quite large.

I am also descended from John Frederick through his son Daniel Webster. You might want to contact them and see exactly which books you would need. Vol. 5 is the family cemetery book. You might also find the 1850 census book they have useful - I refer to it almost daily. Mandy

Nearly three months ago, a subscriber to the Edgefield, SC list asked me to share some Witt deeds with them. I have just laid my hands on them as they were not where they were last seen. I, along with two cousins, published a book on the descendants of Michael Witt (1773-1839) of Newberry County, SC in 1998. Michael is believed to be a descendant of John Adam Witt of Germany who arrived in Charleston on the Upton in September 1752 and subsequently received a land grant in Newberry County (Dutch Fork). Three sons (John Peter, Simon and John Moses) arrived with their parents in America. We were never able to trace these three sons past their arrival in this country. We do believe that Michael Witt is the son of Adrian Witt and that Adrian might possibly be a son of John Adam Witt born after the family arrived in America based solely on circumstantial evidence. John Adam Witt can be found in Newberry and Orangeburgh. Michael Witt's descendants can be found in present day Newberry, Saluda, Edgefield, Greenwood and Lexington counties. We were never able to positively connect the subjects of these deeds to either John Adam or Michael Witt, however, I am posting the deeds to lists covering the counties involved in hopes that this information might be helpful to someone. I apologize in advance for the multiple postings that some of you will receive. The following were abstracted by me at the Edgefield Court House in the mid-1990s: *Edgefield District, SC Deed-Martin Fontz to Martin Witt Martin Fontz and Caterine (Catherine?) Fontz for $200, 3 1/2 acres on Cloud Creek, track of land old John Bodday (Bodie?) formerly lived on that was laid out for a mill on which is now a mill.

These three were the children of Michael Witt, Sr. and Catherine Elizabeth Mauer/Maurer. The area where they lived in now the Fruit Hill-Good Hope Baptist-Trinity section of Saluda County, SC. These three children and many of the descendants of John Martin and Michael, Jr. are buried at Trinity Lutheran Church in Saluda County, SC.
