1. [One source indicates the middle name may be Laney but there is no proof.].

The Funderburk family origin is in Germany. Part (there were two other brothers on another ship - they survived teh voyage) of the Von Der Burg family boarded a ship, The Golden Beaver at Hamburg, Germany to sail for America. Just as the voyage was almost complete the ship foundered and sank off the Carolina coast. All the Von Der Burg family, save Hans were lost. He was rescued and brought to Charleston, South Carolina. The name was changed from Von Der Burg becoming Funderburk, Funderberg, Funderburgh or Funderburg (and other variants). There he became an indentured servant (to pay the fare for the voyage?). Family legend has it that he ran away from this indentured servitude and headed North to Lancaster District, South Carolina. There he met and worked with Titus Laney, an Irish immigrant. Hans married Catherine Laney, the daughter of Titus Laney. From the birth places of his children it appears Hans moved his family several times. However, in the early 1800's some of the Funderburks began moving over into Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Hans Devauld Funderburk was born on December 11, 1724 at Schlossberg, Germany.
