  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./
      The Wicker family of the S.C. Dutch Fork was founded by Matthias Wecker, who arrived with three children in 1752, coming on the Upton. Children listed at the time were: Wulrath 15; Henry 12; and Matthias 9. A notation of 2 April 1752 in the Church book of the village of Baiertal in the Neckar valley region of Germany indicate that Matthias Wecker with wife & five children left their home for the new land (Werner Hacker, "Kurpfalzische Auswanderer vom Unteren Neckar").

      Matthias Wicker evidently lost his wife and two of his children in route from the German homeland to Rotterdam as not a life was lost on the Upton in route from Rotterdam to Charleston, SC.
