John Martin Brandenburg, III

Notes:

The colonists of Orangeburg County and town were mostly German and Swiss, who came over from Europe in a large body, occupying several vessels.

The Brandenburgs have a rich history in Orangeburg Co. SC, but since they aren't my direct line, I won't devote research time to them.

Here's some good site to start your hunting.
