  Hello Faye,

Some of the Germans that came emigrated to PA ended up in South Carolina, but
not very many. An exception to what I just said was the Summer family of the
Dutch Fork area of South Carolina.

The vast marjority of German/Swiss immigents to SC after 1750 came directly to
Charleston via ship. Over 1500 arrived from Germany in 1752 alone. Check out my
web site listed below for addtional information which may help:
