Ola McClanahan: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Generation: 1

1. Ola McClanahan was born in Feb 1886 in Indiana (daughter of Robert Lawrence Augustus McClanahan and Laura M. Cramer); and died.

Generation: 2

Robert Lawrence Augustus McClanahan was born about 1858 in Indiana; died in Feb 1933; was buried in Saint Patrick Cemetery, Lagro, Wabash County, Indiana.

Notes:

Shown as Robert on all census listings (from 1900-1920) with Laura, but shown as Lawrence A McClanahan (1858-1933) on their engraved double tombstone. Was he known by both names? Or is it possible she married another McClanahan (a brother or cousin to Robert?) shortly before they both died? Could not locate this family at the 1930 census.

12.

Christian Cramer was born on 30 Jul 1788 in York County, Pennsylvania; was christened on 31 Aug 1788 in Saint Jacobs (Stone) Union Church, Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania (son of Johann Helfer Cramer and Henrietta Sophia Neudig); died on 12 Jul 1863 in Fostoria, Seneca County, Ohio; was buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Seneca County, Ohio.

Notes:

Clarence Cramer indicates that his baptismal sponsors were Christian and Christine RUHLMAN. He said that after his marriage, Christian and Catharina lived near the Stone Church. He moved to Fostoria, Ohio, in 1837. (p. 57).

Dean Cramer writes that he lived on Uncle Daniel's farm next to Helfer. Moved to farm in Fostoria, Ohio. Dean thinks that Christian's 9 children were probably born in Fostoria, and lived mostly in Indiana. The source for most of Christian's descendants was Louis Haley
