- Klock, Kluck, Glock, Gluck, Clock, Cluck (Kloch, Kluk)
This relationship isbased on indirect evidence. I don't believe Peter is
a son of Peter Klock whose house and family were burned by Indians in Berks
County. Rather, his association with Heinrich, wf Anna Maria, who
was confirmed at Falkner Swamp, seems more appropriate. See birth records
for Peter and Heinrich at Longswamp. Even without forcing the issue on who Peter's
father is, the question would remain - "who is this Matteus Klock with son Henrich
Klock, who is very close to Peter Klock?" For that reason, I think future research
should concentrate here rather than relying on supposed family traditions.

who is this:
Peter Kleg and Maria Elisabeth:
Johann Melchior 1767, sp Melchior Kneple and Catharine (St. Pauls, Upper Saucon)
#######################################################
Note: buried at Jordan, Maria Margaretha (nee Gluck), wife of Heinrich Strauss
26 Jun 1775-31 Jul 1849 (probably from the Glick family of that area)

********** sequence Peter and Henrich show up:
Henrich confirmed in 1764, "son of Matteus" in Montgomery County
Peter meets and marries Margaretha Druckenmiller in Upper Milford, 1766
Henrich gets married c1768. Lives in Montgomery Co (?)
Henrich moves to E District Twp, Berks Co c1773
Peter lives in Longswamp by 1779
Henrich follows him to Longswamp, c1780
Since Henrich's confirmation says Matteus' son, it seems as though the father
was alive and living in Montgomery Co (or Berks?). This is the only record of
Matteus and makes me wonder if the translation could be flawed. The sons seem
to move on after this. One thought is that there may have been sisters,
possibly the women in the sponsor lists. Or maybe atteus had a different last
name and was a step father (though others are so marked). Or the same, but
Matteus was in fact the man's last name?)
I'm not entirely convinced that the3 brothers theory is correct either (that there
were three brothers with one going to NY and one to Canada). That seems to be the
old mistake of knowing that there were Klocks in those three locations and then
suggesting that the three brothers came over and spread out, accounting for all
the various lines.
Note: John Klock Jr had a son Matthias Klock in 1818, bap at Howerters
(the only Matthias/Matteus shown baptized in these church records)
Probably not atypo, but there is a Mattheus Fluck and Mariga having Philip
Jacob in 1783 atNew Bethel, Greenwich

Note that thefirst record for Peter Klock is in the English Translation as "Peter Plock".
I had thought it was just copied wrong. Did he change his name? There's
a Mathias Plogger at Germantown in 1759 (I doubt this but recording it anyways).
