My 5th Great-Grandfather, JOHN FREDERICK DUBBERT was born in Switzerland about 1739, and died  November 3, 1781 in Charleston, South Carolina.  He was buried on November 4 1781 at the St. Phillips Episcopal Church graveyard.  

     John Frederick Dubbert(My 5th Great Grandfather) is buried beside the church in the old burial ground.  The original church was built at Broad and Meeting Streets in 1681.  Then it moved to the site across from the West Cemetery in 1710 and it was a brick building, but the structure burned to the ground in 1835( 54 years after John was buried) and then the new church was constructed with a stucco exterior and completed by about 1838 beside the old yard where he is buried.  

     The West Cemetery  across the street was meant originally for people who weren't members of the church, but they eventually started burying people in the West Cemetery who were church members as well.  As far as I can tell John Dubbert was not a member of the church but he was loved by the British and the chuch had a British minister at the time of Dubbert's death in November 1781.  I think because of his standing with the British & his position as a Dutch Reformed Lutheran Minister who had helped Cornwallis with supplies etc.,  he was given the honored burial beside the church just as if he was a member. 

     I have visited this church numerous times and obtained records from the Sexton's office with records of each burial and minutes)  John's grave is unmarked-He died of smallpox related complications on Saturday November 3, 1781 at the probable age of 42(unless his birthday was between Nov 3 and Dec. 31) and then he was 41, almost 42 years old.  Dubbert was buried on Sunday November 4, 1781.  - I had one of the workmen let me in the locked graveyard and went thru every single grave and as the church minutes said, I didn't find a marker---they don't allow people in the graveyard normally but I talked my way in---where he is buried is off limits because the stucco is falling off the church building and they are worried about liability  for people who are walking through ---this information is as of May 17 2019.  

      Here are some pictures from the burial site of John Frederick Dubbert at St. Phillips Episcopal Church   Charleston, South Carolina

   JOHN FREDERICK DUBBERT:
Much information for this family was obtained from a report on genealogical research done by Leonardo Andrea.This study was done for the William Dubard, Sr. descendants in 1955.A copy is in the Caroliniana Library of the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. https://sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/university_libraries/browse/south_caroliniana/index.php
Apparently the German spelling of the name Dubbert became changed to Dubard or DuBard.  Earliest records show his name and most of his children as Dubbert or Dubert.The LDS IGI has many listings in Germany for Dubbert and Deubbert, but none for the spelling Dubard.In the will (1808) of his daughter, Catherine, who married Dilmon Fasbender, the name is spelled DuBard. 
John Frederick is stated as having died of smallpox during the Revolution. He was minister for the German Reformed church at Cedar Creek Church which served those in the Dutch Fork area (Lexington/Richland) NW of Columbia for a time. 

Here's a brief history of that church-Cedar Creek.

Cedar Creek United Methodist Church

Cedar Creek UMC

Cedar Creek church was formed by a number of pious German people as early as 1743. In 1788 it was incorporated as the “German Protestant Church of Appii Forum,” which meant the “jumping off place” or “where we thank God and take courage.” In its early years, the congregation embraced Reformed theology and was called DuBard’s Presbyterian Church, led by John Frederick DuBard, (Dubbert) the first pastor. After exhaustive research my best guesstimate is that John Dubbert was a minister here sometime between 1759 and 1780.   In 1791, it is reported that Bishop Asbury came to speak to the congregation, riding up on a red horse, and they were so persuaded by his powerful preaching that from that time on they have been known as Methodists.

The present building is a white frame structure with concrete steps adorned with double-hung windows, four on each side and two in the front. A small stoop, supported by two columns, frames the double door to the entrance. The interior is simple and rustic with wide heart pine wood floors and wooden pews.

It is of significance that since 1831, the Cedar Creek church records show a connection with the Bible Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church which dissolved in 1836 to unite with the American Bible Society.

The 2017 South Carolina Annual Conference decided to close the historic Cedar Creek Church.  The Conference Trustees will maintain the church property, including the cemetery.
 

After researching this for years and discovering that Dubbert was a refuge, I guesstimate that he fled to Charleston SC sometime in 1781 because he had been discovered as a Tory(supporting the British)  in fact I think this letter from Lord Cornwallis, the Commander of the British Army in America) might have been Dubbert's undoing with the local patriots in the Dutch Fork and Fairfield SC area.

EXTRACT FROM LETTER FROM GENERAL CORNWALLIS TO RAWDON DATED WINNSBOROUGH, 18TH NOVEMBER 1780 (PRO 30/11/82(61))
"We are at present well off [with respect to cattle] and expect another drove from the Reverend Mr Dubber."

EXTRACT FROM COMMISSARY KNECHT TO CORNWALLIS DATED CEDAR CREEK, 24TH NOVEMBER 1780 (PRO 30/11/4(198))
"The late successes of Colonel Tarleton... I hope will check that rebel audacity which the pusilanimity of the inhabitants gave birth to. I find the rebells have obtained both money and salt, and perhaps merchandize, by overrunning the Dutch Fork! A few of them have been on Monday last within six miles of Kennerly's Mill. I was under some apprehension about the mill being rebel property and fruitlessly endeavour'd to get some militia stationed there (all the plantations near the mill being rebel property), and some of the inhabitants (not owners, for they are chiefly absonded) behav'd daringly insolent to Mr Dubber, who has ever since been upon the fret."

     So obviously Dubbert was helping the British Army in the fight against the Americans. In some ways this is understandable, because here's a guy who was born in Switzerland and was of German heritage.  Of course he was going to be more loyal to the British.  They were the biggest power in the world.  But he did make the decision to come to America and that in and of itself should have had him on the side of the Continentals.  But unfortunately he wasn't.  So he  returned to Charleston after being reported as a Tory while living in the Dutch Fork area. He continued life as a minister in Charleston as was stated in the wedding announcement in the Charleston newspaper for his youngest daughter, Elizabeth R. who married J.J. Schroeder 10 Nov 1800. 
  Dubbert's wife's name was Emily Danger.  It is believed that his children besides Catherine and Elizabeth R. were John Frederick Dubbert, Jr., William (married Elizabeth Hamiter), Peter, Godfrey, and Phillip who married Barbara _____.Godfrey died of consumption 7 Feb 1801 in Charleston. JF, Jr. 
also remained in Charleston.William went to Richland Co. and Phillip to Lexington.

Additional info on John Frederick Dubbert from other researchers

In 1955, the genealogist Leonardo Andrea of Columbia, SC was hired by several DuBard family members to do genealogical research on the DuBard name. The following excerpts were transcribed from the manuscript that Leonardo compiled.

"John Frederick Dubbert, a refugee Clergyman, was buried 4 Nov 1781. This is from the minute book of the St. Phillip Episcopal Church Register. The Church then had a British pastor, since the English had seized the church of St. Phillip. All of those who fled to Charleston for their protection were looked after by the British. When the Rev. John Frederick Dubbert died they had his funeral at St. Phillip's and buried him in the church yard. He lies there today in an unmarked grave. He died for what he believed to be just and true and he was loyal to his British government. To the English he was a Patriot and to the Americans he was a Tory. I walked over to this church yard and thought of all the things that come to a man who does what his conscience led him to do. Here at last came the body of that harassed man, Pastor Dubbert. May his soul rest in Eternal Peace"
     "Political trouble arose, and brother was against brother and father against son as the young state and nation strove for its destiny as a free nation. I know that you spent many long hours on your knees as you prayed for your God to guide you in the course you should take. You were torn much with anguish and with terror of spirit. Many of your flock stood with you in your determination to do as your conscience told you. After you had made up your mind you preached the word of God as you saw it. The war of the revolution held for six long years, at last Captain Strother reported you and you had to flee to the British in Charleston as a refugee. It was there you died in the protection of the British. Your mind was at peace with God and you did what you thought was best. In your death, the British buried you among them in their church and your own German-Swiss were not with you. I think that your children fled with you to Charleston and lamented your death. They loved you and followed your body into St. Phillip Church Yard. The British honored you with a patriot's funeral"
     "Because you did what was right in your conscience, you were later despised by the Americans who won the victory. The victorious state came to upper Richland and took even your feather bed. Your children were left fatherless in a strange city, Charleston. Yet they had a view of your saintly life and of your courage to do what you thought was right even if the State of SC knew you were wrong. You died, if the English had won, you would have been a patriot. As it was, even your name was hidden from the world until I lifted it from the pages of history." "Pastor Dubbert I have at last found you, now I leave you"

Generation No. 3
4.   MARY 3 DUBARD (PHILIP2DUBBERT, JOHN FREDERICK1)1 was born Abt. 1800 in SC1, and died Aft. 1850 in San Jacinto Co, TX1.She married CHANEY ELLISOR1.He was born Abt. 1800 in Lexington, SC1, and died Aft. 18501. 
Notes for MARY DUBARD:
Listed in Equity Court request for division of property of Catherine Dubbert Fasbender as wife of Cheney Elliser and niece & heir of Catherine.She is listed on SC 1830 & AL 1840 census in the same age brackets as her husband which would place their births ca 1800 or shortly thereafter.Obituary for 
her brother, John Godfrey, lists his birth as 1804.We do not know their order of birth. 
Notes for CHANEY ELLISOR:
Chaney appears to be the father of Phillip T. Ellisor as evidenced below.We do not have documentation at this time. 
CENSUS: 1830 on the Lexington District SC census listed as age 20/30.Also 1 male 0/5; 2 male 5/10; 1 female 20/30.Listed as living between D. Ellisor and J. G. DuBard. * J. G. Dubard was his brother-in-law, John Godfrey, the father of Laura Ann Elizabeth, wife of Phillip T. Ellisor.They are also living next to each other in the Dallas Co, Alabama 1840 census.* This information is confirmed by the will of Catherine Dubbert Gross Fasbender, 1810 in Charleston, SC, daughter of Frederick Dubbert.  She was sister of Philip Dubbert/Dubard, the father of John Godfrey Dubard. 
There is uncertainty about which of the male Ellisors were his sons.Probably Godfrey T., Philip Thomas, Samuel A., Daniel W. and John Watt.

Notes for JOHN GODFREY DUBARD:
Birth and Death information taken from obit in 8 Mar 1850 issue of Southern

"Died in Dallas Co, Alabama Dec 11, 1849, John G., son of Philip and Barbara 
Dubard, born in Lexington Dist, SC, March 27, 1804... Emigrated to Alabama in 
1833...left a wife and five children..."Isaac N. Mullen 
Usually referred to as either J.G. on census or as just Godfrey most of the 
time as in the division of property of his aunt, Catherine Dubbert Fasbender. 
His obituary states he is survived by five children.His son John A.G. died in 1850 and is stated as his only son.We feel sure Laura Ann Elizabeth was his daughter as was Susannah and Mary who married Drayton D. Ellisor.We do not know who the fifth child was.Laura Ann's daughter, Mary A.E. Milburn, 
told one of her teen-aged grandaughters that she had met her husband when she went to visit her Aunt Mary who lived next door to his sister (Ellen Milburn Abney).

Notes for LAURA ANN ELIZABETH DUBARD:
We believe Laura is the daughter of Godfrey Dubard.In 1840, the Dallas Co AL census shows J.G. DuBard with a daughter age 10-15.Laura would have been 14 at that time.They were listed next to the household of Cheney Ellisor,believed to be the father of Phillip, whom Laura married at age 18, in Dallas Co.

Notes for JANE RINGOLD:
DEATH:Jane was 2nd wife of Phillip Ellisor and is buried beside him in the Evergreen Cemetery.The gravestone is a double stone, with Philip, joined hands.Hers is inscribed "Sleep on Mother thy work is done/Jesus has come and born (sic) the (sic) home." 
WILL: Phillip willed everything he owned to his widow, Jane, and her children by Phillip. This will has not been located and this information was based on a letter written by Phillip's son-in-law, J.G. Milburn which was written in 1910 from Lockney, TX 
DATA: According to Troyce Ellisor, a descendant living in Evergreen, he read a book on Dallas Co AL with "about 1/2 of it raving about the Rev. Peyton SmithGraves" without realizing the importance of the name.Jane Ringold was the widow of this same Mr. Graves.

 Notes for MARY ANN ELIZABETH ELLISOR:
Birth location is found on application for Oklahoma Confederate veteran's pension made by Mary E. after her husband's death.Athens in Dallas Co, AL no longer exists and only a small church still bears that name which is located down a winding dirt road.A few large deserted houses in ill repair still stand 
in the area reminiscent of the pre-Civil War times when this was a booming area. 
CENSUS: 1910 Floyd Co TX census shows "Mary A.E. Milburn, 61, married 43 years, 10 children, 8 living, born ALA, mother & father both b. SC.They were living in Lockney next door to William O. Kelley and wife, Beulah, their daughter.Some confusion exists about the E. in Mary's name.Part of her children believe it stands for Ellen and part believe it stands for Elizabeth.We believe it is Elizabeth for the following reasons. Her mother's name was Laura Ann Elizabeth Dubard.It seems she was probably named for her mother.Also, upon the birth of Nancy Ann Kelley (Hargesheimer), Mary Ann wrote a letter to Nancy's mother, Elizabeth Kelley, in which she states that the mother and baby both have a part of her name.Nancy is the great-grand daughter of Mary A.E. Milburn.  On all official documents we have been able to locate, she gives her name as just Mary E. Milburn.This might also stand for Ellisor, her maiden name. Possibly, some of the children believed her name was Ellen because one of her children was named Mary Ellen.However, one of J.G.'s sister's names was Nancy Ellen (called Ellen) who lived near them in Montgomery Co., Texas in the 1870's.Possibly the child, Mary Ellen, was named for her aunt, Nancy Ellen as well as her mother, Mary.
