Michael Samuel DeBruhl New York Historical Society.
DeBruhl Michael Samuel. Miniaturist, jeweler, and watchmaker, "late from London," at Charleston (S.C.) in August 1798. Prime, II 5-6; Rutledge, Artists in the Life of Charleston,
This is Michael Samuel DeBruhl Jr. the same Michael Samuel who we found traveling to Bahamas
and London. I believe he sat out the Revolutionary War as a Tory. His brother Edward Cornwallis DeBruhl fought for the "rebels". He was given power of attorney by his family to settle an estate and recover their inheritance in Europe. No record of his settling the matter.. Examples of his silver craft are in the Charleston, SC museum. Given by an anonymous donor.
DeBruls, Michael (or Michelson Godhart).
Landscape and map engraver who was working in NYC between 1757 and 1763. He engraved at least two NYC views and a map of the region around Fort Niagara. Gottesman, Arts and Crafts in New York I 9-12 Dow, Arts and Crafts in New England;
Stauffer. De Chatillon, see Chatillon. Dictionary of Artists in America 1564-1860 New York Historical Society. Groce/Wallace.
He also did an engraving of Fort Ticonderoga and water views of NYC on copper plates.
After moving to New Bern NC he did copper engravings for the members Saint Johns Lodge number 3 AF&AM. These were copper coins depicting the name and membership of the lodge members. He also did engraving and gold chasing work for the last Royal Governor of North Carolina, Governor Tryon. Ref: Years of Light a History of St. Johns Lodge Number 3.

Baby Margaret DeBruhl Infant
-----Original Message-----From: telemandeb <telemandeb@aol.com>To: ritamarie2 <ritamarie2@aol.com>Sent: Sat, Jan 29, 2011 11:11 am
Putting the time line together I have concluded that the small enfant mentioned in the history of the crossing of the great expedition to found the City of Halifax. was none other than Margaret DeBruhl
enfant daughter of Michael and Margaret DeBruhl. The dates all fit . The baby Margaret would have been only three months old when they set sail for Canada. Little Edward Cornwallis DeBruhl was born December of 1749. This would make the first casualty of the great expedition and the first child born after arriving to have been a DeBruhl! There is no record of Margaret after the family settled. I believe she was lost during the voyage and buried at sea.

Transcriber's Noter:
*Gender - while only males were listed, many were accompanied
by their wives, children and servants.
*Ship - all were aboard the Canning.
*Year - 1749
*Master - Andrew Dewar
*Destination - all were destined for Halifax.
*Passengers - Passengers indicated were on the passenger list
but were not around 6 months or so later, most likely heading
for warmer climates. These names and others will appear in
Bates "Disappeared." Randal Oulton informs us that England
originally sent over many with trades which were not in demand
in the area. Halifax was virtually a forest at the time and
some of the passengers were totally unsuited for hard labor
and they likely set out for the New England area. Realizing
this, England then sent over continental farm people who stuck
around, these people are now called the "Foreign Protestants."
Additional information on some of these passengers can be found in
"George T. Bates, The Great Exodus of 1749", in Collections of The Nova
Scotia Historical Society. A description of all of Bates comments from all
1749 ships can be found at: Bates
