Subject: Goethe/Goettee/Peeples/Hiers/Bowers/etc. family From: Allison & Kenneth Cate Date: July 26, 1999 My maiden name was Allison Goettee (g-g-grandfather changed it to Goethe). I am researching any and all branches of the Goethe family from Germany. At this point, I have back to Hans Göthe in the 1500's in Ger. The ancestor who moved from Germany to South Carolina, along with his brother, Heinrich, George II, was the half-cousin of the author, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Johann's grandfather was married twice, and had two sons with each marriage. George II and Heinrich settled in Beaufort, South Carolina, and fought in the Revolutionary War. I am not just interested in my South Carolina branch, but also in the families that have settled in various locations around the United States, and also even family still currently residing in Europe. Here is my full "ad": Looking for any and all information on any and all branches of the Goethe/Goettee family, especially the branches origination from South Carolina. I have much information already, and am more than willing to share with any interested parties. I am compiling a massive tree, eventually I woudl love to have it published, but unti lthen it is primarily used for family information. Until I began this research, we knew little in our family about our beginnings before a few generations ago. I have also become the chairperson who arranges our family reunions (as of yesterday at noon), so I am also interested in involving any and all branches of the family to our Goettee/Goethe family reunions that are held around the Hampton/Varnville area every two years. Hoping to hear from somebody soon!!
