Jacob Huiet (171928041)
Suggested edit: Johann Jacob Huiet, Sr. (1748-1810)
There is reliable speculation that Johann Jacob Hujet (Huiet) migrated from Berks County, PA to Crims Creek, SC to occupy a plot of land that was likely willed or given to him from his parents Frantz Carl and Maria Gertraud (Quattlebaum) Hujet. Reportedly, Frantz Carl and Gertraud with two of their children made the voyage from Philadelphia to Charleston, SC about 1752 to visit Gertraud’s relatives who were part of the German migration to the German colony emerging around the present day Peak near Newberry, SC. It is reported that Frantz Carl, Gertraud, Jacob (12 years old) and Catherine (2 ½ years old) boarded the ship Edinbourough from Rotterdam temporarily ported in Philadelphia where the family boarded to continue on with the ship to Charleston, SC (Source: http://genealogytrails.com/scar/newberry/crims_creek.htm.
There is more evidence that indicates that Franz Carl, Gertraud, Jacob and Catherine (more likely was Mary because she was the oldest girl) perhaps stayed at Crims Creek for more than a year, and likely stayed with Gertraud’s younger brother, Matthias – and the family returned to Berks County, PA to be near Franz Carl’s brother, Peter. Matthias owned a track of land that neighbored Franz Carl’s property. It is thought that Gertraud died in 1757 at their home in Berks County, PA about five years after visiting Crims Creek, SC. It is further speculated that the land warrant obtained by Frantz was willed or deeded to Jacob about 1770 - 1775, and Jacob then permanently relocated to Peak, SC about that time and by 1780 he married Christina Barbara Schumacher in Newberry County, SC. Franz Carl’s death place and date are not known, however, it is thought by me that he lived beyond 1770 and died at Cavetown, MD about 1775 (Source: T. Huyett, 1909; D.D Huyett, 1952). Frantz Carl’s son, Ludwig, bought property south of Cavetown, MD in 1774 and built a magnificent home and farm there and it is listed on the MD state register of historic places. Another well respected researcher, Dr. Raymond Martin Bell, believed that Frantz Carl died about 1750 and is buried in Philadelphia. I suggest that perhaps he is buried near Petter Quattlebaum’s grave (his father-in-law) in the old First Dutch Reformed Church Burial Ground in Franklin Square that has been paved over. Dr. Bell was silent on Frantz Carl and son, Jacob’s migration to SC.
The Huiet Family Cemetery is reportedly "near the intersection of Polk Street Rd and Harmon Rd. in Saluda County, South Carolina". Assume that is a mistake and the cross road is really "Polk Stalk Creek Road", but location is accurate. The “Huiet Burial Ground” (aka Huiet Family Cemetery) is located near the intersection of Polk Stalk Creek Road and Harmon Road. According to Mary Ann Davenport Huiet’s (FAGM# 125435605) obituary places the cemetery in Denny, Edgefield (Saluda Co.), SC. The community of Denny is presently incorporated into Saluda, SC. According to Kay Phillips, 31 Oct 1999, she wrote and the email is posted to Genforum, "My Huiet cousin recently found some of her mother's old notes from a letter written in 1928 that record our ancestor, Jacob Huet/Huiet, who was the son of Francis Huet, as born Nov. 30, 1748, and (is) buried in the Huiet Burial Grounds in SC". Same birthdate is also reported by D.D. Huyett. Source: Google Earth satellite image; 2) Shanna's Lineage; 3) "The Maryland Huyett/Merrick and Kindred Families", D.D. Huyett, 1952.
Jacob siblings are as follows: his half-brothers, Ludwig Huyett (1739-1828 FAGM #60361928), Johann Peter Huet (1743-1802), Johann Phillip Huet (my 5th great grandfather) (1744-1823 FAGM #156163420), and half-sister, Elizabeth Huet (1745-1823) who married Captain Johann Jacob Leffler. Frantz Carl’s first wife’s name was Mary, her children were Ludwig, Peter, Phillip, and Elizabeth, and her family ancestors remain unknown but she came from the same area in Germany as Franz Carl. Jacob’s brothers, Gertraud’s male children were Jacob (died as an infant 1747-1747), Captain Martin Dietrich Huyett (1751-1778 FAGM#43537166, but R.M. Bell disagrees Dietrich was born in CT to the English line of Thomas Hewitt); and Nicholas Hewit (1753-1835 FAGM#8282054), and daughters, Mary Huyett (1750-1826 FAGM#94283787) who married George Wonsettler, and Maria Catherine Huyet (1754-1821) who married Theobald DeWalt Mang.
Dietrich died in the Battle of Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He was killed in battle and scalped by Tories and Indians. Capt. Huyett commanded 44 men. Only 15 survived the massacre. Source: R M. Bell, 1998 and Steuben Jenkins Wilkes-Barre, PA, 3 July 1878. Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wyoming ; 2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalists_fighting_in_the_American_Revolution “The Loyalist and Indian raids in New York and Pennsylvania” paragraph. My disagreement with the ancestry of Thomas Hewitt of Stonington, CT claims Capt. Martin Dietrich Huyett as their ancestor and his parents were English. This is just impossible and contradicts R.M. Bell’s respected research on the German Hujet Family Line from Exeter Township, Berks County, PA. See https://www.geni.com/people/Dethick-Hewitt/6000000005240285416. Dietrich’s parents were indeed German. Interestingly to note is that the Thomas Hewitt family line reports correctly Dietrich’s wife’s name, marriage date and location, and their children’s names but conveniently claim his parents are Deacon Walter Water Hewitt and Elizabeth (Decthic) Hewitt. They claim his first name was his mother’s maiden name.
R.M. Bell also reports that Jacob’s brother Nicholas served with General George Washington’s Continental Army at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-1778 as well as other battles in the Revolution.
