Notes:

A Daniel Kramer is referenced in the book "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" by Strassburger/Hinke (Gen Publishing Co, Baltimore, MD, 1966) Vol I, p 488. A lookup volunteer from the York Co, PA genweb page reported the following: "List 183C, ship "Richard and Mary," John Moore, Master and last from Portsmouth. Foreigners who took the usual qualifications 26 Sept 1752 included Daniel Cramer among 88 others (males age 16 and over). No (X) by his name so apparently he signed his own name."

Also referenced, relationships currently unknown, are Johnannes Peter Kramer Vol 1 p 353,354, and Louise and Philip Cramer Vol II, p 59. Louise and Philip Cramer were passengers aboard the ship COLUMBIA William Maley, Master, from PA Sept 17, 1793.

According to Bob Givens, A Johan Helffer Cramer & Lorentz Cramer arrived on ship Phoenix on 1 Oct 1754 & he believes these are Daniel's brothers. Keith Dull's book EARLY GERMAN SETTLERS OF YORK COUNTY, PA revised edition 1997 agrees with the relationship of Daniel, Helfer and Lorentz. Clarence E. Cramer notes this relationship as well, stating the Helfer's "uncles (were) Johann Helffrich and Lorentz CRAMER, and that he had a "probable-uncle, John KRAHMER (p. 52).

Daniel was on the 1762 tax list; was warranted 109.126 acres in Codurus Township on 14 Oct 1768, and his will was probated on 7 March 1780 (source DULL, p 43-44)

Edith Beard Cannon, in "Genealogical Reports for The Historical Society of York County, Vol. XXIX, p. 52, Evidence of the Cramer Families of York before the year 1850 REVISED" published 1943, cited the following deed (2R, 422) April 15, 1805. Helfrich Kromer of Codorus Township, yeoman, and Sophia his wife: to George WERNER; for (Pounds) 49.10.0: 8 acres, 140 perches, part of tract of 109 acres 126 perches surveyed ) October 14, 1768, to Daniel Kromer in pursuance of an application for 100 acres dated September 13, 1768, now the property of the said Helfrick Kromer as it appears by release of his brother Daniel Kromer bearing date Aug. 29, 1782, given to his brother Philip Kromer with Christina his wife conveyed the same to Helfrick on April 9, 1791. On page 72, Mrs. Cannon indicates that a John CREAMER, owing allegiance to the King of Bavaria, was naturilzed on August 4, 1844; and that Andrew CREMER, owing allegiance to the King of Wurtemberg, was naturilzed on April 20, 1858.

The book ABSTRACTS OF YORK COUNTY, PA WILLS 1749-1819 shows the following:

---,---. Mar 6, 1780. Cramer, Daniel. Executors Jacob Shares and Haefer Cramer (German Will).

---,---. Mar 7, 1780. Kramer, Daniel. Executors: Jacob Shaves and Halfor Kramer. (German Will).

(Index 1780 E-75).

Roger Cramer (RKCedar@aol.com) believes him to be a son of Johan Georg Kramer and Elisabeth Blaicher, who arrived in America on 3 December 1740 with their family aboard the ship "Robert and Alice". They were from Saulgau, Donaukreis, W?rttemberg, Germany.

However, Rosalie Sommer (rosaliesommer@comcast.net), shows different parents, listing him as a son of Johann Daniel Friedrich Cramer, husband of Anna Catharine Wilhelm of Rommelshausen, W?rttemberg, who emigrated on 26 Sept 1852 on the "Richard and Mary" to Philadelphia from Rotterdam. She shows that Daniel and Catharine has two sons born in Rommelshausen, and that Daniel married secoind Sofia PFEIL of Leutenbach, W?rttemberg, by whom he had six children, including Daniel Cramer, the husband of Anna Margareta Schmidt. In her tree, however, the Daniel Cramer born in Rommelshausen was shown as born ca 1743, and as his eldest son, Helfer, was born 1753, this seems unlikely.

Rosalie also indicates that an unrelated Cramer family, that of Hans Adam Cramer, of Rheinhessen, Hessen, had arrived in York County earlier aboard the ship "Pennsylvania" on 10 Sept 1731.

Daniel married Anna Margaretha Schmidt about 1752 in York County, Pennsylvania. Anna was born about 1730 in York County, Pennsylvania; died before Sep 1815 in York County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Anna Margaretha (Schmidt), wife of Daniel Cramer, on the baptismal records of her daughter, Eva Elisabetha Cramer. Often shown as the daughter of Heinrich SCHMIDT.

However, Scott Michael Troutman, smtroutman@atlanticbb.net, in February 2005, had the following in his notes about the family of Heinrich and Anna Margaretha SCHMIDT: "Research of William S. CRAMER in Smith family file 2711, 1992, York Historical Society Library states that "Henry Smith emigrated aboard the ship Pennsylvania Merchant 11 Sept 1731 (Strassberger & Hicke pps 43,45,46.) List as Johan Hendrick Smit and Johan Hennrich Schmidt with Margarite Smit (his wife). Children also include a Rosina Smit.

Daughter Anna Margaretha is thought to be married to Daniel Kramer. Info in the Smith family file at York Historical Society give her birth as 1740, death 1803. However, she is listed in fathers will ca 1771 as married to Jacob Harbaugh, and NOT Daniel Kramer. IF Daniel Kramer died before 1771, or if Anna Margareta divorced and remarried, this might be possible. Otherwise, the information that Anna Margaretha Schmidt-the daughter of Heinrich Schmidt-was married to Daniel Kramer MAY BE IN ERROR."

Clarence E. Cramer writes that "The 1779 Tax Records show Helfer Cramer then owned a farm of 124 acres in Codorus Township (see page 12), and his mother is listed seperately as "Widow GRAMER" with the parental acres." (P. 52)

In September, 1815, Helfrig Cramer was the administrator of the Estate of Anna N. Cramer, widow, of Codorus Township. Tenet in $200. Inventory filed March 11, 1816. Account filed December 24, 1816, shows a balance of $9. 41 1/2.
