Sharon, I'm very interested in the Klingman(n) family you mention. My Catharine is spelled with a K and other variations.
I'm trying to find Pennsylvania information about the Georg Klingmann and wife Anna Katharine on the ship Samuel landing in Philadelphia in 1732. They had a son Peter on the passenger list, and a son Alexander who is not on the passenger list, evidently because
no? child under 3 years is on the list. He just doesn't show up in anything I find in Pennsylvania, but marries and has a large family in North Carolina. Family lore meshes nicely with the time for the ship's arrival.
I found a Clingman book online, but it has some incorrect information in it, so I don't know if I can rely on anything.??For
example, it says that Hans is not a name, but something to do with the Hanseatic League. That may be true in some German-speaking regions, but not everywhere.?
There is info about a Georg who mentions a wife Catharina
Barbara in his will, and I think Anna Cath. may have died an he married again. My Anna Cath. was born 27 Oct 1700 in Wieblingen, Heidelberg. Her maiden name was Frey. Georg was born about 1690-1699 somewhere in Baden, probably near Heidelberg or Mannheim.?
The book mentions so many men named Peter that it's impossible for me to sort them out. I do know that, of the two Klingmann couples on board, Anna Katharine and
Georg are the parents of Peter and Alexander. The other couple is Yorich and Thoradea (Dorothea) and there is Pennsylvania information about them, sorted out because of her unusual name.?
I'd be happy to correspond about Klingmann's.
