***************************
George Goethe, referred to herein as "the third", was born circa 1770 in St. Peter's Parish, Beaufort Dist, now Hampton Co, SC. the son of George Goethe II, & his wife Anna Christiane Beckman, both were German immigrants.
George Goethe III owned, lived and operated a mill upon land inherited from his father George II. This land was granted to George Goethe II, his father, in 1772, in three royal grants, technically "patents" requiring payment of quit-rents, & comprised @800 acres situated in St. Peter's Parish astride a strong stream flowing in a short distance into the Coosawhatchie River, near the present Hopewell Church, SC.
Archives, Royal Patents, Vol. 16, pp. 125-6. The site of the mill, which milled lumber as well as grinding grain, is a marked location, as "Goatie's Mills," on the 1820 Mills Atlas map of Beaufort Dist, SC.
George was not recorded in the 1850 Census, probably having died in late 1840 or in 1841. He may have been survived for a brief time by his wife, Elizabeth. Both repose in the old Goethe Cemetery in unmarked (save for common stones) graves.
