Alsheim-Gronau, Germany:
Johann Ludwig Klemmer, son of Johann Henrich Klemmer and Anna Catharina, married Anna Elisabetha Bockel on 24 January 1742 (recorded in the Reformed Church Book, Meckensheim, Germany).
It is assumed that he that he came to America as a young lad of approximately 12 years with his father and other family members on the "Alexander & Anne" 5 Sept 1730.
Another Ludwig Klemmer and wife emigrated to American on the ship Neptune, September 24, 1751 (Hinke-Strassburger, I, List 172-C).
"I first read about the Clemmer Massacre around 1980 at the York County Historical Society in York, Pennsylvania. The massacre took place at or near Baker's Ridge in Frederick County, Maryland. The Clemmer (Klemmer) family was on their way back from burying a child when they had two boys abducted-George Valentine ("Felty") and Lawrence. Georg Valentine "Felty" Clemmer was born in 1747 in York County, Pennsylvania (not in Germany as some sources say). He was born at the Conewago Settlement near Littlestown and was the son of Johann Ludwig Clemmer from Friedelsheim, Germany (See Adams County, Pennsylvania Church Records of the 18th Century, by R. Edward Wright, published by Colonial Roots, Lewes, Delaware,1989, page 65). Felty was nine years old and his brother was seven when their father was killed and they were captured along with their mother who was later killed. The Native Americans then moved their captives to Wills Mountain near Cumberland, Maryland. The boys were held captive for more than eight years, from August 20, 1756, until November of 1764, and it is believed that they spent the majority of that time in present-day Ohio. At the end of the French and Indian War the boys were returned to the white settlers."
