Notes:
                   From Ora L. Flanningam
Benjamin Cramer & Mary Ann (Polly) King had 10 children. This is a major branch of the Cramer family. See the Cramer Family History by Ora L. Flaningam & Mazie Cramer Emanuel (Family History Library microfilm 2055164, It. 4, 1994). He lived on the Mason Farm near Casselman, Somerset Co, PA. In Mazie Emanual's original notes, this Benjamin was a son of John Cramer and grandson of Adam Cramer. This cannot be true since according to the available birth dates, when Benjamin's son Samuel K. Cramer is born, Benjamin's father, John Cramer, would only be 23. For this reason we have assumed that this Benjamin is actually the son of Adam and have exchanged the records of the two Benjamins. In the tax records of  Somerset Co. he is listed from 1825 through 1843. There are no tax records for a second Benjamin until 1869 (Fayette Co.). In the 1820 census his age is in the range 26-45 (b. 1775-1794).
