Lew,

This is something you might be interested in..I found
a page reproduced of the original List No. 87, page
92, Wadeschweil, Switzerland.

I kept finding to dates for the departure of the
Theiler family from Switzerland.. on 1739 and on 1744.

When you read this page you will see how it could
have happened, But if you study this page however, you
will see the departure date is April 1739...this
Pastor Jos. Caspar Hofmeister was giving a account of
those who left his parish. This letter was written
April 10, 1744 same year 1744, as were the others
listed on the page.

They were recording names and dates of people from
their parishes who migrated before 1744. (it seems the
pastor did not like that)

I see both dates listed as departure dates online, but
I am convinced the correct one is April 1739.

Thought you might find this document helpful.

Biography* Jacob came to South Carolina from Zurich, Switzerland, in 1739. In 1740, he and Johannes (John) Theiler received royal grants of land in Saxe Gotha Township, SC. Johannes was perhaps a brother, since Jacob's father Johannes is rumored to have died enroute to America.      In 1742, he sent a letter back to Wadeschweil in which he praised his good fortune and the new land.      In Jan 1745/6, Jacob acquired 150 acres of land:      "Read the Petition of Jacob Theiler of SaxGotha Township, setting forth that the Petit'r has in increase of three children in his family for whom as yet he hath not had any land assigned him by virtue of Family Right and therefore humbly prays his Excell'cy & their Honours that 150 acres of land be laid out to him in the Township of SaxGotha, joyning to the land of the Savannah Hunt Mill... the prayer of this petition was granted." 2      Jacob Theiler died in Saxe Gotha, SC in 1778. His will named his wife, Magdaleen; three daughters mentioned but not named; grandsons, sons of Randolph Theiler: John, Jacob, and Herman (Randolph was then deceased). Executors were sons-in-law Herman Geiger, Jacob Geiger, Jr., and William Geiger.
