Note: a letter from John H. Carter, Sr, of 750 Market Street, Trevorton, PA 17881,
dated 13 Sep 1969 to Mrs. Willard says: "There is an extant German baptismal
certificate which states that there was born ot Peter Clements and his wife Sophia
a daughter Susanna, Sep 12, 1812, in Augusta Township Northumberland Co."
Note: will 4:189 of Michael Bretzius mentions wf Sarah, sons Michael, Nicholas,
George, John,daughters Elisabeth Gebhart, Juliana Graul, sister Mary Bretzius.
Note: I don't think that the Sophia Kramer in the records of 1799 was a wife
of MichaelBretzius. I think, like in other cases I've seen, the record isn't
refering to the wife's maiden name (usually not mentioned for sponsors in
baptisms), but rather a couple and a single person as sponsors (ie, Michael
Bretz and wf and also Sophia Kramer). See adjacent records in the baptismal listings.
Still,it would suggest that there *was* a young Sophia Kramer and that
would add toFloyd's saying what her maiden name was (that is the only
somewhat original source which identifies her as a Kramer).
In Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 732:
PETER CLEMENT, the ancestor of a numerous posterity who now reside
in Northumberland county, many writing the name Clemens, was a native of
Berks county, Pa., born in that part now included in Schuylkill county,
andthere lived in Pine Grove township. Coming to Northumberland
county, he settled in the vicinity of Augustaville, in Lower Augusta
(now Rockefeller) township, and there followed farming. He died in
1817, when about forty-six years old, and is buried at the old
Augustaville Union Church. His wife, Sophia Kramer, born Sept. 16, 1781,
survived him many years, dying Feb. 18, 1854, and she, too, is buried at
the Augustaville Church. They had children as follows: Samuel, who lived
and died at Sunbury, was a boat contractor and builder, his nephew,
Benjamin, working for him some years (he had two children, Nelson and
another); Michael died young; Abraham is mentioned below; Jacob and John
settled at Harrisburg; Peter is mentioned below; Hannah went out West,
where she married, lived and died.
