Note: Surname was Anglicized to Andrew Moak so as to voyage under the British Crown mandate.

Andrew came to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1740 from Switzerland on the British ship - St. Andrew - Captain Stedman. served as endentured servant 7 years at Fountainbleu plantation for Benjamin Godin caretaker for owner Francis Marion "famously known as the Swamp fox" Goose Creek, SC to pay for passage.

During the years 1759 and 1760 the people of Saxe Gotha suffered greatly a from the ravages of the Cherokee War. Many were compelled to take refuge among the Germans at Ebenezer and Savannah whilst others fled for safety to Charleston, Perrysburg and other places, until those host1l1t1es were ended, and peace and security was again restored.

It is indeed possible, as has been conjectured, that Andrew Moak could have been killed in these Indian disturbances and his family have moved to Georgia temporarily.

Andreas was given a land grant by King of England, George II, in Saxe-Goetha, South Carolina.
