im from florida my grtgrandma is a subers her moms a glymph from SC. Im researchin them, heres what ive found out
Johann Abraham Glymph (Hebrew name, Joseph Ben David)
A Jewish Ancestor of the Subers Family of Florida

My fifth great-grandfather, Johann Abraham Glymph was born in 1726, in what is Germany or Poland today.
From the archival evidence available, Johann Abraham Glymph was a Polish Jew, and before coming to North America had been living in one of the areas of Poland which was occupied by the Prussians of King Frederick II the Great, during this time Poland was divided between Russia, Austria, and Prussia.
Rights of Jewish residents were stripped and many fled to other countries during this period.
“In 1750 on April 17, FREDERICK II OF PRUSSIA (Germany) issued a general patent to the Jews that limited them to commerce and industry. Jews were no longer to be considered dependents of the king but rather of the State. Jews, on the one hand, were encouraged to be part of the State and its economy, while on the other hand they were still second class citizens who were divided into two classes - privileged and protected. An "enlightened monarch", Frederick wrote his Political Testament (published in 1752) in which he described Jews as dangerous, superstitious, and backward.” From this passage we can see that it would make sense for Jews to be fleeing the area for better conditions in the new world. The presence of several other identifiable Jewish names from the passenger list (see appendix) document that Johann Abraham Glymph wasn’t the only Jew on board the ‘Neptune’, and a copy of the ships passenger list is included in the appendix.
“Glymph” is a Polish name (the current Roman Catholic primate of Poland and archbishop of Warsaw is Joseph Cardinal Glemp). Many of the descendants of the Glymph family live all over the United States and have been working on documenting this family’s unique story. The meaning of the Hebrew Script next to Johann Abraham Glymph’s name is “Jacob, Son of David” according to Louis Kessler, a scholar of the Congregation ‘Mikveh Israel’ (located at 44 N. 4th Street in Philadelphia, PA) who translated the Hebrew script reading “Joseph, Son of David” for me from the Hebrew.

Figure 1 this is Johann Abraham Glimph’s signature from the Ship ‘Neptune’ onboard passenger list, the Hebrew script below states “Joseph, Son of David”
Johann Abraham Glymph immigrated to Philadelphia aboard the ‘Neptune’, captained by a Captain MacLane, arriving on December 13th 1754 .
Quoting Janet Bouton on the Glymph GenForum, Johann Abraham
"came to America from Amsterdam, Holland. Family tradition says that he was killed by Tories in North or South Carolina. His service in the Revolutionary War says that he was 'born in Germany, was 40 years old in 1788 (thus placing his birth date around 1748-1750), 5 ft. 4 1/2 inches, tall, black hair, fair complexion."
Her information came from the book "History of Lauderdale County."
Though we only can gather scraps of information on Johann’s life from the records that still exist, it appears that Johann Abraham Glymph was married several times during his lifetime.
A Catherine Lowe married John Abraham Glymph and she died December 6, 1822.
Johann Abraham Glymph’s arrival in the colonial south marked where he would spend the rest of his life.

Only 20 years earlier, many Jews, as well as particular denominations of Christians had fled Georgia for South Carolina due to intolerant policies adopted by the Trustees of Georgia, and South Carolina was very tolerant of religious diversity comparatively speaking.
“There is a long history of Jews in Charleston, South Carolina. The charter of the Carolina Colony, drawn up by John Locke in 1669, granted liberty of conscience to all settlers, expressly mentioning "Jews, heathens, and dissenters."
The earliest record of a Jew in Charleston occurs in 1695, when one is mentioned as acting as interpreter for Governor Archdale. It is not improbable, however, that individual Jews had settled there at an earlier date. In 1702 Jews appeared in numbers and voted at a general election. The Jewish community at Charleston received a substantial addition during the years 1740-41, when the illiberal policy of the trustees of Georgia induced both Jews and Christians to leave that colony and to flock to South Carolina.
By 1800 there were about 2,000 Jews in South Carolina (overwhelmingly Sephardic and settled in Charleston), which was more than in any other U.S. state at that time, and more than any other town, city, or place in North America. Charleston remained the unofficial capital of North American Jewry until about 1830, when the increasing number of Ashkenazi German Jews emigrating to America largely settled in New Orleans, Richmond, Savannah, Baltimore, and the north-east (particularly in Philadelphia and New York City), eventually surpassing the mostly Sephardic Jewish community in Charleston.
South Carolina was the first place in the western world to elect a Jew to public office—Francis Salvador, elected prior to the Revolutionary War, became the first Jewish American killed in the Revolution. It was also the birthplace of Reform Judaism in the Americas.”

Johann was a witness of a will for Nicholas Noah in 1769 and in a Deed Abstract with Catherine on Dec. 4, 1770.
Other references to Glymph state that in 1770 John Abraham Glymph and his wife Catherine are listed as residents of Granville Co., South Carolina, and that in 1771 John & Catherine sold land in Berkley Co., S.C.
In 1776 John Abraham Glymph had a son named Emanuel in Granville Co., N.C.
In 1778 He took the Oath of Allegiance to the state of North Carolina in the Dutch District.
In 1779 He sold 100 acres of land on Rock Creek in the Dutch District of Granville Co., North Carolina.
Records indicate that in 1780 Glymph enlisted in the Continental Army, on August 15th at "Continental Training and General Rendezvous at Chesterfield Courthouse, Virginia” and in 1782 he was released from the Continental Army.
In 1787 he owned 100 acres on Doe Creek in Montgomery Co., Virginia and in 1788 he gave consent to the marriage of his son John Abraham Glymph, Jr. to Frankey Mills in Montgomery Co., Virginia.
Records indicate that in 1790 he was still living on Doe Creek in Montgomery County.
At the age of 64 on June 9th 1790, Johann Abraham Glymph married Margaret Hollingsworth in Rockbridge Co., Virginia.
Rev. Samuel Houston, a Presbyterian Minister performed the ceremony.
Johann Abraham Glymph would pass away in 1796.
In 1767 Johann Abraham Glymph and his wife Catherine (Planter?) would have their daughter Elizabeth Glymph in Berkley, South Carolina.
She would be my fourth Great Grandmother and would marry Michael Subers (1770-1813), a son of George Subers.
She would pass away on December 19th 1825 in Newberry South Carolina.
Michael and Elizabeth Glymph Subers would have a half dozen children, including John George Subers, Abraham Subers, Emanuel Subers, John Thomas Subers, Susannah Subers (1789), and Rebecca Subers (1794).
Their son John George Subers would move to Florida by 185o, along with his wife Elizabeth, where his many descendants would be involved in agriculture in the Gadsden County area.
John George Subers son, Robert V. Subers (1850-1907) would marry Sydney Clark (1854-1922) in the year 1874 in Gadsden County Florida. Their children would be Franklin (1874-1943), Matthew B (1876-1963), Theresa (1879-1897), Annie (1881-1930), Mamie (1884), Daniel (1888-1950), Christie (1891), Christopher (1891), and Essie (1896).
Robert V. Subers daughter Essie Subers (1896-1968) would marry Andrew Jackson Williams (1892-1953) in 1917, and they would have several children including Andrew Jackson Jr.(1918), Beatrice(1919), Charlie (1921), Sydney (1924), Myrtice (1927), and my grandmother Jesse Juanita Williams, who was born in 1933.
Juanita, my grandmother, would marry A.L. Sewell in 1947 at the age of 14. Their oldest son, Roger D. Sewell (born 1950), would marry my mother Regina Ann Kever In 1969 in Liberty County, Florida
