Jacob Lindler is our immigrant ancestor who arrived in the port of Charleston in summer of 1752 (see details below) while S. C. was still a colony & had not yet joined the USA (South Carolina became the eighth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on May 23, 1788 & become a state in the USA).
****************
This was the original Lindler immigrant! His birth and death dates as originally posted were approximate and not exact. However, James Richard Lindler hired (2015) a professional German genealogist from the Baden-Württemberg area who found the church birth record leading to the above dates.
Jacob & both wives are NOT buried at Saint Jacobs (see plot info, above).
Beginning in the early 1700s...generally speaking, hundreds of Palatinate Germans (roughly the southernmost quarter of the modern German federal Rheinland-Pfalz [Rheinland-Palatinate]) poured out of the Rhineland between Germany & Switzerland, an exodus which began about 1700. According to Louise Janes Riley (Lexington, S. C. genealogist and historian), our immigrant is thought to have made his way to Rotterdam (still a huge port in southern Netherlands), Holland and thence to Charles Town, S. C. on the ship Elizabeth (Capt. Ross) & petitioned The S. C. Council for land, 18 Dec. 1754. The freight certificate of Mr. John McColl shows Jacob and his first wife [Walberger ? Lindler] had arrived about 18 months prior to the petition for land and had come by paid passage and did not have to be indentured servants. However, in extensive genealogy searching (to include the professional genealogist), James Richard Lindler found that there is no proof yet of these details (but, by Oct. 2020 & more research, there is no evidence to refute the above).
As to the generalities of early emigration to America, I created a "Coming to America" story page (mostly related to my Shaw line), linked HERE: http://www.theeffectivetruth.info/bigstory.html.
Sources indicate that Jacob is variously recorded as Jacob Lintner & Jacob Lindner & even Johannes Jacob Lindler. He & his son (Jacob II) were founding members of St. Jacobs Lutheran Church near Chapin, S. C. (confirmed by James Richard Lindler).
So, he came to the USA in about 1752 (the church records in Germany showed no more communions by him after 1750); & that 100 acre land grant is in present-day Fairfield Co., S. C (on the east side of the Broad River, bordered on all sides by vacant land). That it was a 100 acre grant likely means it was for a husband & wife without children.
On marrying his second wife, he got her 50 acres (had sold his original 100). In March 1788, he is granted 134 acres on Weavers Creek, a branch of Wateree Creek, waters of Broad River, bordering Michael Eargle, Ulrich Slice, and Rosanna Charles.
These Germanic settlers in central S. C. populated an area around present-day Lake Murray (generally between the Broad and Saluda Rivers from lower Newberry County down to the convergence of the two rivers to form the Congaree) still known among locals as the "Dutch Fork" area (a corruption of the German words, Deutsch Volk, "German Folk").
Hattie Long Padgette's 1977 book (@ Lexington County main public library), History of Jacob Lindler 1802 and His Descendants, indicates that he and 2nd wife Anna Maria are buried near their home on a branch of Wateree Creek (central S. C.).

Also, Hanne brought a Dutch Fork website to my attention listing information derived from old German Church records about MANY German families coming to the Dutch Fork area of S. C., HERE: http://dutchforkchapter.org/auswanderer_early.html (much of this is a rewrite of the listings on Hanne's website).
