Carl Anton Mohle landed in Galveston from Germany in 1851. His son Henry married Anna Beth Swearingen who descended fromGerrett van Sweringen (Holland to a shipwreck off New York in 1657).Anna Beth's mother descended from the Michies ("Scotch John" Michie deported from Scotland in 1716, sons in American Revolution) and the Sullivans (supposedly related to the Bollings of Pocohontas fame). Henry's son married a Biggerstaff (Samuel Biggerstaff deserted the British Army in 1740, Ben Franklin made a wanted poster on him, one son killed fighting with the Colonials in Charleston and another with the British at Kings Mountain). | |
