Alawine and Alewine (Where's the connection?)

"Most of them (Alewine's) came from the Black Forest area of Germany, although the Alewines probably came from Alsace, an area on the French side of the Rhine River populated with German-speaking people.They were principally descendants of ancient German Tribesmen known as...Alemanni (or Alamanni) who were engaging in combat with the Romans as early as 300 A.D."......
This was taken from some info that I received from Alton Alawine, Meridian, Mississippi.
Many Alewines settled in the Dutch Fork area of South Carolina about 1745.I believe the correct spelling to be Alewine. Many people spell by sound...therefore...changes the spelling.Good Luck.
My Alewines came from the Dutch Fork area in SC and migrated to Madison Co., Georgia.
