From the Introduction to Jim Steinwinder's Ancestry Page:
Johann Daniel Steinwender with wife and three small sons arrived in Charles Town (now Charleston), SC aboard the Snow-type sailing ship Rowan under the command of Capt Alex Tran in October 1752. He and his family had departed from the town of Stein in the Baden District of Germany earlier that year for the short trip to Karlsruhe where they had boarded a river vessel for the trip down the Rhine River to Rotterdam then transferred to an ocean going vessel for the crossing to a new home in America.
Daniel went before the King's Council on November 28 as a persecuted protestant and received a royal land grant of 250 acres on Beaver Creek near the confluence of Beaver Creek and the Congaree River. This land was located in Amelia Township (now Lexington Co, SC) and it was here that he raised his three sons through Indian attack and the Revolutionary War to manhood.
As was German custom at the time Daniel's first name was Johann; therefore, all of his three surviving sons bore the given name Johann. However, after arriving in America he and all sons soon dropped the name Johann and were called by their second name.
Because of the letter W in German being pronounced as V and the guttural nature of the German language the Steinwender name was written by the English scribes in the manner pronounced by the immigrant Daniel as Staynwinter (and later Stivender.) To this day one branch of the family still uses the spelling Stivender. The third branch of the family is believed to have died out for lack of male children.
Our branch of the family attempted in the early 1800's to return to the original German spelling of the name and did so with one error and that was the wender portion of the surname being written as winder. No second attempt (to my knowledge) was ever made to correct the spelling and our name today is still spelled as Steinwinder.
In the information following the listing of "Heads of Household" I will give the lineage breakdown from Daniel Steinwender down to my brother. I will not attempt to breakdown each family as the size of this homepage would not permit such. I will instead breakdown each family in a direct line between Daniel and my older brother Joseph H Steinwinder Sr. The reason I do not break down to myself is that I am, and have always been, a bachelor.
By placing this information on the internet I am not committing myself to supply source documents to everyone who requests them. I will however provide information and answer questions via E-MAIL at the following address:

1) Isaac Dykes---4 males over 16, 3 males under 16, 3 females---3 slaves
2) George Dykes---2 males over 16, 7 males under 16, 4 females
3) David Dykes--- 1 male over 16, 1 female
4) William Dykes---5 males over 16, 2 males under 16, 5 females
5) Dorcus Dykes---1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, 2 females
6) John Dykes---1 male over 16, 2 females
7) William Dykes---2 males over 16, 5 males under 16, 3 females
