NOTE 1./ EARLY GERMAN SETTLERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA compiled by Siegbert Frick & Carl W. Nichols <>

Between the years 1730 and 1766 the Colonial government of South Carolina actively encouraged immigration of foreign Protestants to the Province. Appreciable numbers of immigrants from Germany began to arrive in the 1740s. The year 1752 represented the peak of the migration with an estimated 1800 German settlers who arrived on several ships in the fall of that year. Saxe-Gotha, Amelia, Salkehatchie, and the fork of the Broad and Saluda (Dutch Fork) became largely German settlements. The Dutch Fork was the most densely settled, becoming home to 483 settler families by 1760, almost all of whom were of German origin (E. B. Hallman, “Early Settlers in the Carolina Dutch Fork 1744-1760”, Master’s Thesis, Wofford College). It has been estimated that by the year 1765 there were 7500-8000 Germans and German-Swiss who had come to the province of South Carolina (R. L. Meriwether, Expansion of South Carolina, 1730-1765”).

NOTE 2./ Hans Suber Family <>

The Suber family of the S.C. Dutch Fork was founded by Hans Michael Zuber who arrived in S.C. about 1752. German Church records of the family are found in Werner Hacker's "Kurpfaelzische Auswanderer vom Unteren Neckar in 18. Jahrhundert." Hans Michael Zuber, b. 1710, Baiertal, Germany, m. (1) 26 Aug 1738, Anna Marie Wittman, b. 1712, d. Feb 1748, Leimen, Germany; m. (2) Ester Margretha Hermann, b. 1717, Leimen, Germany, and after arrival in S.C., m. (3) Elizabeth Miller.

John Michael SUBER was born in 1710 in Baiertal, Germany. He died after 1772 in Newberry County, South Carolina. John Michael Suber (also written Saeber, Schover, Souber, Zuber) arrived at
Charlestown, SC on board the ship CUNLIF in September 1752 with some 500 other German passengers. With him were three of his children: Elizabeth, 10; Hans Bjorg (listed as Hans Erick in Council Journal immigration record), 9; and Conrad, 3. John Michael made petition for a land grant to the Council at
Charlestown for 200 acres (50 acres per family member). Elizabeth Miller (also written Millerin -- the "in" denoting female), also a passenger on the CUNLIF with her son Hans Michael, 5, made petition for a 100 acre grant adjacent to John Michael's. Colonial plats describe the land as lying in the fork between Broad River and Saludy (Saluda) River on Second Creek. John Michael Suber and third wife Elizabeth Millerin lived in the Broad River section between Second Creek and Heller's Creek. He was granted two other tracts of land, one of 250 acres (1769) and another 150 acres (1772).

Hans Michael Zuber was granted a 200 acre tract on Heller's Cr. adjacent the 100 acre tract of Elizabeth Millerin. Plats for these two tracts were certified on the same day, 18 June 1753. Hans Michael and Elizabeth Miller Suber are believed to be buried in Suber Cemetery #4 located on the 100 acre survey of 1753 to Elizabeth Millerin.
