The Bookman Family left lots of tracks for their descendants to follow. They were large land owners . .buying and selling lots of land. And they helped build South Carolina during the 18th & 19th centuries. From these tracks, I was able to piece together some history on my Bachman/Bookman ancestors. I have wondered about the various names in the Dutch Fork section of South Carolina being Jewish; many of them sound Jewish, however, many German names (in German) sound Jewish, but they aren't. The name Bookman started out being Buchmann . . then Bachman or Bakman. The first Bookmans to South Carolina received land grants and they had to be Protestant or do a good cover-up. One of the progenitors of the Bookman family was John Jacob Buchman (Bookman) born in Switzerland. His date-of-birth & -deaths are unknown, but he was christened on March 22, 1696. He was married to Margaretha Schwizler in about 1720. They arrived in South Carolina via a port in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on a ship named "The St. Andrew" and under the command of Capt. Brown in 1743.
