Mary Ann Bruner was a German, but a member of Rocky Springs Presbyterian Church. She is listed in the Rocky Springs session book of 1833. The only other Bruner who was listed in the session book was Selena Bruner who was dismissed in 1851. Mary Bruner being a German seems insignificant now but that was a rare occurance back in the 1840s. The Germans refused to live with the Scotch-Irish in the Backcountry over the slavery issue. The majority of the Germans refused to hold slaves. As a demarcation boundary, the Germans settled on the south bank of the Saluda River. That German settlement spread down the Saluda and at the fork of the Broad and Saluda Rivers, it is now called The Dutch Fork. Dutch meant Deutsch which is German in their language.
