RE: Buckholts Research
Don - Thank you for the summary of information concerning
Heinrich Buchholtz (Henry Buckholts) and Jacob Buckholts. You
and your group are right on track. We have covered much of the
same ground and have come to many of the same conclusions. I am
encouraged that someone else has tied the South Carolina
Buckholts to the Pennsylvania Buchholtz rather than trying to go
from South Carolina back to "Prussia."
HEINRICH BUCHHHOLTS (HENRY BUCKHOLTS): Your summary includes
reference to a deed that I was not aware of:"1689 Henry
Buckholtz purchased 240 acres of land from John Henery and Anna
Margaret Kersten." This is an important document, and I would
like to know how to locate and get a copy of it.
You mention an article by C. R. Haller in the Mennonite Family
History Magazine. In Haller's book "Across the Atlantic and
Beyond - The Migration of German and Swiss Immigrants to
America" he gives convincing evidence that Heinrich and Marie
Buchholtz came from Kreisheim on the Rhine River in Germany and
that Heinrich's father probably was Peter Buchholts (Peter
Buchholtzer). You might want to check out that reference. It
contains much other interesting information and is for sale.
Some of your deeds for Jacob were for land in Chester County PA
where Henry and Jacob moved in about 1718 [unless the deeds
were also recorded in Philadelphia County, of which I am not
aware]. However, you did not mention the Chester County tax
lists:

Henry Buckholts died in about 1726, and his estate was probated
in Philadelphia County (ADMINSTRATION 6, YEAR 1726).
JACOB BUCKHOLTS: Your summary also includes reference to a
another deed in "1734; Jacob and Catherine Buckholts sold 240
acres of land to Ulrich Reinhardt." This is an important
document in as much as it names Jacob's wife. Again, I would
like to know how to locate and get a copy of it.
According to abstracts in Holcombe's book "Petitions for land
from the South Carolina Council Journals Volume I: 1734/5-1748,"
James Gordon at the council meeting held on the 7th March
1735/35 petitioned for an substistence allowance for settlers
lately arrived from Philadelphia.
Jacob Buckholts' land grants in the Queensborough Township were
surveyed in January 1735, indicating that the Buckholts family
emmigrated to South Carolina in early 1734. Your deed from
Jacob and Catherine Buckholts to Ulrich Reinhardt also may help
tie the year down. I have not been able to exactly locate
Jacob's Queensborough tracts, but they were on the SW side of
the Pedee River in what is now Florence County.
In the same book is the abstract of a petition where Jacob
Buckholts petitioned the council for 250 acres of land in the
Welch Tract-he being a Pennsylvanian and having sworn to his
family right. That grant was on the SW side of the Pedee River
a few miles south of Society Hill in Darlington County, SC.
That is where I think Jacob spent most of the rest of his life.
According to Rudisell's "The Diaries of Evan Pugh [1762-1801],"
on 20 December 1783, Rev. Pugh "Went to old Mr. Buckholts
funeral at Cash'y." This, I think, was Jacob Buckholts'
funeral. If so, he was in his late eighties when he died.
I have hypothetically reconstructed Jacob's family as having
been: (1) Henry Buckholts, (2) Elizabeth Buckholts [who married
Jonathan Cratchley, then William Megee], (3) Abraham Buckholts
[who married Elizabeth Woodward], (4) Jacob Buckholts, Jr., (5)
Peter Buckholts [whose wife was Mary], (6) Mary Buckholts [who
married John Dexter], and (7) Anthony Buckholts. Therefore, I
believe that the Abraham, Jacob, and Peter Buckholdt mentioned
in Rev. Gregg's book "History of the Old Cheraws" were the
children of our Pennsylvania ancestor Jacob Buckholts.
As I said before, the documents probably do not exist to "prove"
the complex relationships of the Buckholts family in South
Carolina, especially when considering the passing down of names.
Wills or probate do not exist for most of this family and
marriage data is scarce. The information I have seen on the
internet and published in the World Family Tree Volumes is
confused and mostly wrong. These people have not considered
time as related to generations, and they have skipped some.
My line is from Abraham (son of the Pennsylvania Jacob), who had
a son Jacob who migrated to Mississippi in the early 1800's. My
Jacob had a son William H. Buckholts who married an Elizabeth
Brashears, a part Choctaw Indian. The descendants of William H.
Buckholts left some confused genealogical notes, which are
difficult to dispute. I have seen that at times they have
claimed descent from Peter and also that my Jacob's wife was
Mary Smith - she was Sarah Hodge. There are other confusions
concerning the Mississippi Buckholts because of information on
an Abraham Buckholts (Buckles) that was published in the early
DAR records. I decided some time ago that I do not have the
time or inclination to confront these people and straighten out
their genealogy. It is too complex, and I can not support my
conclusions with single documents that "prove" relationships.
With this in mind, I have provided the above information to you
because your group is on the right track. I will be glad to
correspond with you by email about specifics. But, I must warn
you that the time I have to devote to Buckholts research is
limited. Do you have any future plans to publish or otherwise
distribute your research? - Bill
***************
Abraham & Jacob fought in The French & Indian Wars. Peter was
in the Welch Tract. They are said to have left the area early.
Abraham BUCKHOTLS (Sr) & his sons Abraham (Jr) & Jacob are named
as members of the Catfish Baptist Church at its formal
constitution on the 3rd of October 1752, Marion Co. SC. That
would mean the sons had to be adults or at least older teens.
Jacob BUCKLES is listed in the list for delinquent land grants
in Queensborough township, 250 Acres, 24 May 1740.
I think the Jacob, son of Abraham (Sr) is the one that married
Mary SMITH, daughter of John SMITH, IV. (My 4th GGF)
