M: 10/31/1736 Anna Maria Walliser, B: 07/22/1712, daughter of Martin Walliser, a farm laborer, and Catharina Goetz. Thomas Gickeleuthner brought his family to SC in 1752 on the ship Elizabeth. His name in the Colonial record is Thomas Kicheliter or Kickelaytor. At the time of his petition there were three children: Catherine 16, Elizabeth 12, and John Fred. 10. A 250 acre bounty grant was located on Wateree Creek just north of St. Jacob's Lutheran Church, Chapin, SC. This land was inherited by the son, Frederick Kicklighter who also got an adjacent survey in 1772, after the death of his father. The Kicklighter lands appear to have been confiscated during the Revolutionary War and were included in land granted in 1787 to John Hampton. Ravenscroft plantation, owned by Adam G. Summer, contained much of the original Kicklighter land grants.

Notwithstanding this proclamation, it is not clear if Frederick died in the Revolutionary War. In 1782, as Friedrich Giegelleitner, he and wife, Margaret, baptized a child named Margaret in St. John's Lutheran Church, Charleston, SC. Widow, Margaret Kicklighter (as Magt Gickilicker), is found in the 1790 census living in Newberry District, SC. The sons of Frederick Kicklighter moved to Beaufort District, SC. John, the oldest son, served in the SC House of Representatives from Beaufort District, St. Luke Parish, in 1806-08 and 1810-12.
