Johann Daniel Steinwender

From the Introduction to Jim Steinwinder's Ancestry Page:

Johann Daniel Steinwender with wife and three small sons arrived in Charles Town (now Charleston), SC aboard the Snow-type sailing ship Rowan under the command of Capt Alex Tran in October 1752. He and his family had departed from the town of Stein in the Baden District of Germany earlier that year for the short trip to Karlsruhe where they had boarded a river vessel for the trip down the Rhine River to Rotterdam then transferred to an ocean going vessel for the crossing to a new home in America.

Daniel went before the King's Council on November 28 as a persecuted protestant and received a royal land grant of 250 acres on Beaver Creek near the confluence of Beaver Creek and the Congaree River. This land was located in Amelia Township (now Lexington Co, SC) and it was here that he raised his three sons through Indian attack and the Revolutionary War to manhood.

As was German custom at the time Daniel's first name was Johann; therefore, all of his three surviving sons bore the given name Johann. However, after arriving in America he and all sons soon dropped the name Johann and were called by their second name.

Because of the letter W in German being pronounced as V and the guttural nature of the German language the Steinwender name was written by the English scribes in the manner pronounced by the immigrant Daniel as Staynwinter (and later Stivender.) To this day one branch of the family still uses the spelling Stivender. The third branch of the family is believed to have died out for lack of male children.

Our branch of the family attempted in the early 1800's to return to the original German spelling of the name and did so with one error and that was the wender portion of the surname being written as winder. No second attempt (to my knowledge) was ever made to correct the spelling and our name today is still spelled as Steinwinder.

In the information following the listing of "Heads of Household" I will give the lineage breakdown from Daniel Steinwender down to my brother. I will not attempt to breakdown each family as the size of this homepage would not permit such. I will instead breakdown each family in a direct line between Daniel and my older brother Joseph H Steinwinder Sr. The reason I do not break down to myself is that I am, and have always been, a bachelor.

By placing this information on the internet I am not committing myself to supply source documents to everyone who requests them. I will however provide information and answer questions via E-MAIL at the following address:

Hans Georg Graser

Email from Jim Steinwinder, genealogy researcher:

Steve,
The following research was accomplished by a professional
German researcher in the archives of the prot. church in Karlsruhe
(Archiv des Oberkirchenrats) in the Baden Dist of Germany.

Anna Margaretha Graser Graser was born on 29 June 1722
as the daughter of Hans Georg Graser, Kleemeister (someone
who took care for dead cattle and did other unconvenient jobs)
and of Ottilia Hirschfelder. This couple is first listed in Stein, Germany
in 1718, andd they were catholic. Hans Georg Graser died on
16 Aug 1745 in Stein aged 66 years 9 months. And I did not find
any death entry of his wife before 1773. She may have died in the 1730's
when the register is written very badly and I may have missed the entry,
or she died after 1773 or she probably died somewhere else.

The children of of Hans Georg Graser and Ottilia Hirschfelder follows:

(1) Johann Christoph b 18 Aug 1718, sponsor: The Hangman
(Kleemeister) in Konigsbach.

(2) Johann Georg b 22 Aug 1720, sponsor from Bretten d 13 Aug 1728.

(3) Anna Margaretha b 29 Jun 1722, sponsors Anna Margaretha unmarried
daughter of Jacob Hirschfelder hangman (Nachrichter) at Butschbach.

(4) A stillborn child 22 Jul 1724.

(5) Anna Elisabeth b 19 july 1725, sponsor among others Hans Heinrich
Leinenweber, a cabinet maker-apprentice from the Eppstein Land,
(Eppstein County.)

(6) Johannes b 12 Aug 1727
In 1752 Johann Graser is mentioned as a hangman.(Kleemeister.)

(7) Daniel b 9 July 1730.

(8) Maria Magdalena b 4 May 1732.

William Dyches Sr.

William gave a deed to Reuben Powell in Pitt County, NC for a tract of land given to him by his father, George Dykes. It stated William Dykes of Winton County, South Carolina, now Barnwell. This is the same piece of land that was owned by William Dykes in Pitt County in 1775. The land was confiscated by the sheriff and sold to the highest bidder to get funds to hire a person to fight in the Revolutionary Army in place of William. In South Carolina, both George and William were Loyalists. After his land was taken, William left Pitt County and went to Barnwell County, South Carolina, where his son, George, then lived on land given him in 1772 by the Crown. To get a clear title for the land Reuben Powers paid 10 pounds to William Dykes in 1790.

In Reply to: ABEL DYKES, bc 1760 SC-LA -MS posted by Kaye Hancock on September 01, 1998 at 07:41:52:

I have an Abel Dykes b ca 1760 Orangeburg District, SC. I have his ancestors, but not his descendents. My Abel was listed in the 1800 SC census; on 11-20-1811 he signed a petition of the inhabitants of west FL for FL to become a state. By 6-1812 he had settled a claim west of the Pearl River. He was living in Pike Co, MS during the 1820 census, pg. 21. Also noted for receiving public lands east of the Pearl River were Barden Dykes and Benjamin; all 3 brothers. In the 1837 MS state census, Benjamin is listed in Jones Co.; in 1850 he & family are listed in Jasper Co. Could we be speaking of the same Dykes' family? Would like to swap info, if you're willing.
