Elizabeth Koon Beck of Ripley, Mississippi

I am researching the Koon or Kuhn family from germany. I'm told but don't have any proof that Benedict [Benedictus] Kuhn arrived On the ship Upton. The Upton owned by Foster Gunliffe Esqr. & Sons of Liverpool. England, with a captain named Gardner. It was supposed to have sailed into port Charles Town [Charleston] South Carolina. Arriving from Rotterdam, Holland, carrying among it's passengers, my ancester, Benedict Kuhn, his wife & one son, George Adam, who was eight years old.
According to what I've been told Benedict later had a son named Nicholas.
And George Adam kuhn was born in Germany in 1744 and died in or about 1821. That he married Rosanna Barbara Long in Newberry County, South Carolina about 1759. And they had 8 children that I've been told about but there could be more.
Any information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have.
