Notes for ? SCHWARTZ:
It is my theory that this fellow happens to be either Johann Adam Black, or his brother. Unproven and likely impossible to prove. C. Krell
Notes for ANNA CHRISTINA SETZLER:
Anna Christina had two 100 acre surveys in 1771, one on Cannon's Creek and one on the waters of Wateree Creek. Both tracts were in the estate of her oldest son by Adam Frederick Epting, John Adam Epting (Newberry Court of Common Pleas B-12, 1812).
A 50 acre survey of 1770 to Adam Frederick Epting on Cannons Cr., with an adjacent tract, came down to Jacob Epting (Newberry Court of Common Pleas A-67, 1822).

Anna received the second of her own land grants in her maiden (Setzler) name in 1773. (See note below)

According to Dr. Carl W. Nichols, German-born children who came with their parents to America later received free land as a "bounty" grant, and that the females always received their land in their maiden names, even if they had already married by the time the grant was issued. (ibid)
Per the Federal Census of 1790, none of the sons were reflected as being in her household. Henry Swatts (sic) was shown as head of household with four males and one female. This could have been Henry, Anna Christina and her Epting children. Source, as above.
Cibby's note: the 1790 Census most likely ennumerated Henry with the four Epting children, John Adam, Jacob, John and Eve Catherine. April, 2008\\
Her son John Adam sold 100 acres to Henry Schwartz in 1794. Adam had inherited all of his father's land through the right of primogeniture which was still in effect when Adam Frederick Epting died. (ibid)
From "The Dutch Fork, an Atlas" by Carl Nichols:
