John S. CREMER
John's birthdate from Sanner Lutheran Church records. === John S. Cremer. In Mazie Emanuel's sources, he was given as a great grandson of Adam (Adam-> Benjamin->Samuel->John S. Cremer) rather than as a grandson. However, the 1850 census and notes of Ernest Cramer in the Hist. & Gen. Soc. of Somerset Co. show that this should be his proper position. The notes of Ernest Cramer for Samuel Cramer's second child read: "John S. Cremer, born 10-17-1800, died 11-17-1862, married Sallie Schoff, Seven children (4 sons, 3 daughters)." The 1850, Upper Turkeyfoot Twp, Somerset Co. census gives: "John S. Cramer(49); Sallie(??); Mary(19); Hiram(17); Adaline(15); Harriet E.(5); Cyrus A.(1)." (Census data from Peter Novielli 7/95) === Sarah's (Sallie's) surname is also spelled Schaaf in some records.
