ANCESTOR OF LEON HACKMAN MOYER 1
ANCESTOR OF DONALD R. HORST CLYMER

Note: N418 ANCESTOR OF LEON MOYER 6. Heinrich Clemmer, b. 1700, He died at Franconia Township, Montgomery County on 13 Jan 1791, age 90 years. Family tradition states that he came over in 1717. He was of Franconia Township and could sign his name and wrote it "Heinrich Klemmer". He was first mentioned in Franconia Township in 1738, the year the Salford Mennonite congregation was formed. He bought 156 acres in Franconia on 2 Jan 1749 from Dilman and Elizabeth Kolb. Heinrich was married to Maria.

? ELLIOTT KELLER IS plant manager Talked to Elliott Keller on the phone and he said we may visit any time and they have no plans to level the building.
? (The following was copied from the research papers of Abram Lapp Clemmer, and similar material appeared in THE PERKIOMEN REGION dated April 1932 entitled "The Ancestry of Wilson K. Clemmer".)
? Nothing of the early Germanic family of Klemmer has been definitely ascertained. The villages along the Rhine from which several branches of the family came upon their emigration to Pennsylvania are unknown to the writer. Through correspondence some preliminary work has been done and the meager results are: The Archivist at Karlsruhe states the name Klemmer has been found in the town of Bacharach on the Rhine and other parts of Hesse, Baden and Bavaria for over two centuries. The Archivist at Darmstadt advises that families by the name Klemmer are at present living in the villages of Weisheim, Westhofen, Monzerheim, Gimbsheim and Bechtheim, all located in Hesse. The family is unknown in the Cantons of Zurich and Berne. Dr. Clemmer who is "Leiter der Staatlichen Aufbauschule" located in Wipperfurth advises that his family resides at Cologne where there are numerous apparently unrelated families by the name of Klemmer, and that prior to 1800 his forebears were farmers living in the village of Fischenrich on the Rhine near Cologne.
? Henry Clemmer was settled in Franconia Township, Montgomery (then Philadelphia) County, Pennsylvania as early as 1738. Heinrich and Johannes Klemmer arrived at Philadelphia September 5, 1730 on the ship "Alexander and Ann". Johannes (John) Clemmer settled in Salford Township where he owned 100 acres of land on which he paid quit rent prior to 1734. It is presumed that they were brothers. John died in 1737. Henry Clemmer and John Detwiler signed the bond of the widow, Ann (nee Detwiler) Clemmer as the administrator of his estate under date of December 24, 1737.
? The relationship of Henry Clemmer of Montgomery County with Preacher Valentine (Felty) Klemmer of Great Swamp, one of the signers of the Mennonite Confession of Faith when it was published in English in Philadelphia in 1727 by William Bradford, has never been definitely ascertained. The writer BELIEVES a relationship existed because of family tradition and the fact that the Christian names of the early male descendents of the Montgomery County Clemmers and those of the Bucks County Branches are almost identical.
? The first documentary evidence of of the residence of Henry is 1738. That year formal formation of the Salford Mennonite Congregation occurred. In a Deed of Trust covering the land necessary for a Meetinghouse and Cemetery, among others mentioned is Henry Clemmer of Franconia. When Henry located in Franconia is not known, but one can readily believe that it was shortly after his arrival in this locality with his brother. He had probably married and taken up land prior to the formation of the Salford Mennonite Congregation, as he undoubtedly was a respected member of the community at this time. Under date of December 27, 1748 Preacher Dielman Kolb and Elizabeth , his wife, of Salford Township conveyed to Henry Klemmer a tract of land containing 156 acres located on the present Allentown Road south of the village of Franconia. The greater portion of this Homestead tract has never been out of the Clemmer family having descended from Henry the Pioneer to his son Abraham; to his son Abraham M; to his son Abraham D; to his son Hiram D; and then to his son Laaden Clemmer, the present holder. Since preacher Dielman Kolb purchased this tract in 1734 it is quite likely that he soon afterward sold it to Henry under lease and by 1748 final payment being made, formal transfer by deed settled the fate of this tract down to the present time.
? The records are meager regarding the home life of this pioneer. With the formation of the Franconia Mennonite Congregation he undoubtedly became a part. The homestead was cleared and tilled, buildings of some kind erected, for in 1769 he is listed as owning 156 acres, 4 horses, 7 cattle, no servants and paid a tax of 16 pounds, 11 shillings. The eldest son, Abraham, was of age and at home. He did not own property and therefore paid no tax. In the Effective Supply tax for the year 1779 Henry paid 15 pounds. He paid 4 pounds 5 shillings in a addition for his state Tax in 1779. the Effective Supply tax for 1780 lists Henry Clemmer Senior for a tax of 120 pounds on a valuation of $4000. the same tax for 1782 is 3 pounds 9 shillings and 2 pence on a 513 pound valuation. After this date Henry Sen'r is no longer rated as a taxable and there it is presumed that Abraham, the eldest son, had actually taken over the ownership of the Homestead even though he did not acquire legal possession until after his father's death in 1791. In the Federal Tax for 1783 Abraham Clemmer is listed for 156 acres, 2 horses, 5 cattle, 9 sheep and no Negroes.
? The members of the Clemmer family, being devout Mennonites, did not take part in the Revolutionary War, and throughout this struggle we find the younger sons listed in the Philadelphia County Association 4th Co., Capt. John Capes of the district of Franconia, and because of non attendance at drills, were periodically assessed for fines. The eldest son Abraham does not appear in the records as he was married with a growing family and apparently beyond the compulsory age limit. The United States Census of Pennsylvania for the year 1790 enumerates the male descendants of Henry Clemmer of Franconia as follows:
? Abram Klemer - males over 16 - 2; females 8. Henry Clemer - males over 16 - 1; males under 16 - 3; females - 3. John Clemer - males over 16 - 1; males under 16 - 1; females - 4. Valentine Klemer - males over 16 - 1; males under 16 - 1;females - 2.
? Henry died intestate in 1791. The administrators were his sons Abraham and Henry and their records were proved June 2, 1791 before the Register of Wills at Norristown. Soon after the death of the father all of the children (except Christian who was said to have gone to Virginia and could not be located) joined in a Deed conveying the Homestead to the eldest son Abraham.
? NOTE BY THE EDITORS: Note that the 1790 Census quoted above and the conveyance of the Homestead bear out the fact that Christian had left the area and was no longer in contact with the family.
? In the graveyard adjoining the Franconia Mennonite Meetinghouse are the tombstones of Henry Clemmer and his wife, Maria, bearing the following inscriptions in German: Henry Clemmer born 1700 died January 13 1791
? Maria Clemmer born 1720 died October 7, 1777
? HENRY AND MARIA CLEMMER HOMESTEAD
? On July 29, 1992, Mr. Curtis Moyer, owner of MOPAC, which owns the property where the Clemmer Homestead is located, gave permission to the editors to visit the house. It is located on the Lower Road between the Allentown Road and Godshall Road in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
? We were accompanied by local Historian, Robert C. Bucher of Harleysville. Mr. Bucher was familiar with the house and explained how he dated the old part (west side of a double house) no later than 1750.
? We had been told that the original log walls were visible in this part of the house and we found this to be true. B. Bucher said it appeared that all of the original log house was there, just covered over. This was born out by examination of the attic and cellar.
? He called this "the best of the last two remaining houses of 'Franconia Mennonite Architecture' left in the area". The other being the Hackman house, which has been so drastically remodeled, little remains of the original structure.
? Since the Franconia Mennonites came from the Swiss-German areas of Europe, they brought their building styles to the new world. Mr. Bucher explained Swiss-German Medieval Architecture as follows:
? (1) THREE ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS AND THREE ROOMS UPSTAIRS (2) DOUBLE PURLOINED BEAMS SUPPORTING THE ROOF (3) ENTRY WAS INTO THE KITCHEN (KUCHE) WITH FRONT ENTRY AND BACK ENTRANCE DIRECTLY OPPOSITE EACH OTHER FOR AIR CIRCULATION WITH THE FIREPLACE ON THE INNER WALL. (examination of the attic indicated that the kitchen fireplace was 14 to 16 feet wide.) (4) THE SECOND ROOM DOWNSTAIRS WAS THE PARLOR (STUBE). THIS ROOM WAS HEATED BY AN IRON BOX STOVE. (5) THE THIRD ROOM (KAMMER), BEHIND THE PARLOR, WAS THE DOWNSTAIRS SLEEPING ROOM FOR THE PARENTS AND INFANTS. (6) UPSTAIRS WERE SLEEPING ROOMS FOR THE CHILDREN. THIS HOUSE HAD THREE ROOMS UPSTAIRS.
? This house is the only remaining example in this area of the 1700's Mennonite "plank" house with vertical corner post and log construction. "Plank" is used to describe logs which were "shaped" or hewn flat on all four sides. The visible wall inside the house appears to have logs about 12 to 14 inches wide with wood pegs. The original dimensions of the house were approximately 32 feet long and 27 feet wide.
? The cellar had several revealing characteristics as to the age of the structure. One was a ledge in the floor joists just under the house floor. This ledge was included to hold ''palings". Palings were small strips of wood 4 to 6 inches wide, shaped and wrapped in clay mud, grass and then dried. They were placed with either end resting on the ledge tightly against each other. This was for insulation against cold and dampness. Mr. Bucher said this dated the house to earlier than 1770, as these palings were not used after that time. The stone cellar steps and walls gave evidence of being original to when the house was built.
? Another characteristic of Swiss-German Medieval Architecture was that the cellar excavation was under the whole house except the kitchen, because the fireplace was situated there. Also, there was evidence of two "medieval type slanted openings" in the cellar walls, one on either side, for light and ventilation.
? These houses were generally oriented to the sun for warmth, with the front door facing south and the parlor in the southwest corner. The Clemmer house appears to have at sometime in the past had the front and back entrances reversed, perhaps after the Lower Road was built and the family wanted the house to face the road.
? On Apr 3, 2013, at 4:36 PM, Joel Alderfer wrote: Donna, Rose Moyer forwarded your last email on to me. I will try to respond briefly and directly to your questions about the current status of the Henrich Clemmer house in Franconia Township. I haven‘t been past there in a long time, so I wasn‘t even aware that the barn had been removed. I spoke with Lake Clemmer (whose father Laaden once owned the Clemmer farm) œ he knows a little more about the current status of the property than I do (I actually know nothing about it, except what Lake has told me). Yes, MOPAC was sold to larger company perhaps eight years ago; that company was sold again to a larger comp.; and probably sold again, so that the whole property (MOPAC and the Clemmer homestead) is now owned by a huge, multi-national meat processing company, called JBS (or something like that). Lake Clemmer says that it‘s the largest meat processing company in the world (based in Argentina, or somewhere in S.A.). Lake also says that the Clemmer barn was not moved and saved, but was demolished (destroyed). I wouldn‘t know who else to ask about this action. So, yes, what‘s left of the Clemmer homestead (including the log house) is owned by this huge meat processing company. Neither Lake nor I know of any person or group advocating for the preservation of the house. Lake feels the meat company (JBS, or whatever it‘s called) is encroaching on the old house site. The company has been expanding its‘ warehouse and plant space in recent years, in that direction. Lake feels that the Clemmer house is at fairly high risk. He doesn‘t know if anyone is living in it currently. The big problem is that no one we know really knows who is in charge of the property (since it‘s owned by this huge international corporation, and who might the director of operations, or even the local plant manager be?). We don‘t know who to ask about the status of the old house, and quite frankly, I hardly have time or energy to get involved in an advocacy project or campaign like this one could easily be. I‘m sorry that I don‘t have any more positive news about the site, but this is all I could find out for now. Sincerely, Joel Joel D.

Johannes (John) Clemmer settled in Salford Township where he owned 100 acres of land on which he paid quit rent prior to 1734. It is presumed that they were brothers. John died in 1737. Henry Clemmer and John Detwiler signed the bond of the widow, Ann (nee Detwiler) Clemmer as the administrator of his estate under date of December 24, 1737.

The relationship of Henry Clemmer of Montgomery County with Preacher Valentine (Felty) Klemmer of Great Swamp, one of the signers of the Mennonite Confession of Faith when it was published in English in Philadelphia in 1727 by William Bradford, has never been definitely ascertained.

The eldest son, Abraham, was of age and at home. He did not own property and therefore paid no tax. In the Effective Supply tax for the year 1779 Henry paid 15 pounds. He paid 4 pounds 5 shillings in a addition for his state Tax in 1779. the Effective Supply tax for 1780 lists Henry Clemmer Senior for a tax of 120 pounds on a valuation of $4000. the same tax for 1782 is 3 pounds 9 shillings and 2 pence on a 513 pound valuation. After this date Henry Sen'r is no longer rated as a taxable and there it is presumed that Abraham, the eldest son, had actually taken over the ownership of the Homestead even though he did not acquire legal possession until after his father's death in 1791. In the Federal Tax for 1783 Abraham Clemmer is listed for 156 acres, 2 horses, 5 cattle, 9 sheep and no Negroes.

The members of the Clemmer family, being devout Mennonites, did not take part in the Revolutionary War, and throughout this struggle we find the younger sons listed in the Philadelphia County Association 4th Co., Capt. John Capes of the district of Franconia, and because of non attendance at drills, were periodically assessed for fines. The eldest son Abraham does not appear in the records as he was married with a growing family and apparently beyond the compulsory age limit. The United States Census of Pennsylvania for the year 1790 enumerates the male descendants of Henry Clemmer of Franconia as follows:

Abram Klemer - males over 16 - 2; females 8.
Henry Clemer - males over 16 - 1; males under 16 - 3; females - 3.
John Clemer - males over 16 - 1; males under 16 - 1; females - 4.
Valentine Klemer - males over 16 - 1; males under 16 - 1;females - 2.

Henry died intestate in 1791. The administrators were his sons Abraham and Henry and their records were proved June 2, 1791 before the Register of Wills at Norristown. Soon after the death of the father all of the children (except Christian who was said to have gone to Virginia and could not be located) joined in a Deed conveying the Homestead to the eldest son Abraham.

NOTE BY THE EDITORS: Note that the 1790 Census quoted above and the conveyance of the Homestead bear out the fact that Christian had left the area and was no longer in contact with the family.

In the graveyard adjoining the Franconia Mennonite Meetinghouse are the tombstones of Henry Clemmer and his wife, Maria, bearing the following inscriptions in German:
Henry Clemmer born 1700

HENRY AND MARIA CLEMMER HOMESTEAD

On July 29, 1992, Mr. Curtis Moyer, owner of MOPAC, which owns the property where the Clemmer Homestead is located, gave permission to the editors to visit the house. It is located on the Lower Road between the Allentown Road and Godshall Road in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

We were accompanied by local Historian, Robert C. Bucher of Harleysville. Mr. Bucher was familiar with the house and explained how he dated the old part (west side of a double house) no later that 1750.

We had been told that the original log walls were visible in this part of the house and we found this to be true. B. Bucher said it appeared that all of the original log house was there, just covered over. This was born out by examination of the attic and cellar.

He called this "the best of the last two remaining houses of 'Franconia Mennonite Architecture' left in the area". The other being the Hackman house, which has been so drastically remodeled, little remains of the original structure.

Since the Franconia Mennonites came from the Swiss-German areas of Europe, they brought their building styles to the new world. Mr. Bucher explained Swiss-German Medieval Architecture as follows:

(1) THREE ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS AND THREE ROOMS UPSTAIRS
(2) DOUBLE PURLOINED BEAMS SUPPORTING THE ROOF
(3) ENTRY WAS INTO THE KITCHEN (KUCHE) WITH FRONT ENTRY AND BACK
ENTRANCE DIRECTLY OPPOSITE EACH OTHER FOR AIR CIRCULATION WITH THE FIREPLACE ON THE INNER WALL. (examination of the attic indicated that the kitchen fireplace was 14 to 16 feet wide.)
(4) THE SECOND ROOM DOWNSTAIRS WAS THE PARLOR (STUBE). THIS ROOM WAS HEATED BY AN IRON BOX STOVE.
(5) THE THIRD ROOM (KAMMER), BEHIND THE PARLOR, WAS THE DOWNSTAIRS SLEEPING ROOM FOR THE PARENTS AND INFANTS.
(6) UPSTAIRS WERE SLEEPING ROOMS FOR THE CHILDREN. THIS HOUSE HAD THREE ROOMS UPSTAIRS.

This house is the only remaining example in this area of the 1700's Mennonite "plank" house with vertical corner post and log construction. "Plank" is used to describe logs which were "shaped" or hewn flat on all four sides. The visible wall inside the house appears to have logs about 12 to 14 inches wide with wood pegs. The original dimensions of the house were approximately 32 feet long and 27 feet wide.

The cellar had several revealing characteristics as to the age of the structure. One was a ledge in the floor joists just under the house floor. This ledge was included to hold ''palings". Palings were small strips of wood 4 to 6 inches wide, shaped and wrapped in clay mud, grass and then dried. They were placed with either end resting on the ledge tightly against each other. This was for insulation against cold and dampness. Mr. Bucher said this dated the house to earlier than 1770, as these palings were not used after that time. The stone cellar steps and walls gave evidence of being original to when the house was built.

Another characteristic of Swiss-German Medieval Architecture was that the cellar excavation was under the whole house except the kitchen, because the fireplace was situated there. Also, there was evidence of two "medieval type slanted openings" in the cellar walls, one on either side, for light and ventilation.

These houses were generally oriented to the sun for warmth, with the front door facing south and the parlor in the southwest corner. The Clemmer house appears to have at sometime in the past had the front and back entrances reversed, perhaps after the Lower Road was built and the family wanted the house to face the road.
