John G. William deBrahm was bringing immigrants to the Bethany settlement he founded in South Carolina. He went on to become Surveyor General of Georgia. In 1764, he was appointed Surveyor General of the new British colony of East Florida and of the Southern Division, which included the colonies of South Carolina, Georgia, and East Florida. Some of his writings on surveying, engineering, and coastal navigation are still read today. One of his books is: DeBRAHM, JOHN GERAR WILLIAM History of the Province of Georgia. Wormsloe, Georgia, 1849. DeBrahm’s Report of the General Survey in the Southern District of North America. Reprinted, University of South Carolina Press, 1970. He is mentioned on numerous web pages. Correspondence added July 31, 2007, passenger 18 Wolfgang Mack Wolfgang Mack was born 01 April 1697 in Sontheim, Wuerttemberg, Germany and died Nov 1775 in Bethany Community, Effingham County, Georgia. Wolfgang’s first wife was Barbara Niedersteiner [sp] (b. 1697 Wuerttemberg and d. abt. August 1745 in Langenau, Germany). According to German Church Records, they had at least 10 known children. After the death of his wife, Barbara, Wolfgang left Germany for America, arriving in Savannah on 23 Oct 1751 aboard the ship Antelope, a member of the 2nd Swabian Transport. After establishing a home in America for his children, he returned to Germany. In November, 1752 aboard an unspecified ship of the 3rd Swabian Transport, Wolfgang returned to Georgia with his children, Bartholomew, Thomas and Christina. It is not known at this time what happened to his other children. Some were deceased and others may have already married and elected to remain in Germany. Earlier research done by George Mock of Decatur County, Georgia indicated that Wolfgang was a brother to Bartholomew, Thomas and Christina. In 2005 Beverly Zanon volunteered to do some research for me on my Mack/Mackh/Mock line, and she found records proving that Wolfgang was actually the father to the other three Mack’s who immigrated to Georgia. After arriving in Georgia in November 1752, Wolfgang and children settled in the area known as Blue Bluff which was located along the Savannah River. On February 24 1755, Wolfgang married his second wife Anna Barbara Mayerhoefer but had no children. Wolfgang died in November 1775 and is buried in the Bethany Cemetery in Effingham County, Georgia. Bartholomew Mack married, had a family and remained in the Effingham County, Ga. Area. Thomas Mack* married in Effingham County, GA and moved to Mecklenburg (Cabarrus County), NC where he died in 1807 and is buried in the Cold Water Lutheran Church Cemetery. One of Thomas’s sons (Thomas Jr., my line) returned to Georgia about 1810, married Catherine Rieser and settled in the Decatur Co., Ga. area where descendants still live. Christina Mack married in Effingham County, Ga. but died shortly after the birth of her first child. Thanks to the efforts of Beverly Zanon, I now know the true relationship between Wolfgang, Bartholomew, Thomas and Christina. I had always wondered why four children would come to America without a parent. Everyone had always assumed that Wolfgang was the older brother, when in fact, he was their Father. Thanks, Beverly.
