Jared married Maria Magdalena Cramer on 21 Apr 1846 in St. Matthew's Church, Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania. Maria (daughter of Johann Lorentz "Laurence" Cramer and Anna Maria "Mary" Lehman) was born on 3 Jun 1825 in York County, Pennsylvania; was christened on 31 Jul 1825 in Saint Jacobs (Stone) Union Church, Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania; died on 25 Mar 1905 in Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania; was buried in Saint Jacobs (Stone Church Cemetery), Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lived on a farm southeast of Helfer. Clarence E. Cramer writes that his baptismal sponsors were Johann Lorentz and Anna Maria (Emigh) Cramer

FindAGrave notes that his headstone may be the one between his wife's stone and the stone of his father but his stone is almost unreadable. If it isn't that stone his stone may have been destroyed over time but he is buried in this cemetery. Chuck Winter shows his date of death as 30 October 1840.

Edith Beard Cannon, in "Genealogical Reports for The Historical Society of York County, Vol. XXIX, pp. 1-72, Evidence of the Cramer Families of York before the year 1850 REVISED" published 1943, writes that an Administation Bond (2N, 174) was posted on November 7, 1840 for the Estate of Laurence Cramer of Codorus Township, Henry Cramer Administrator. This book is lost. January 3, 1843, Henry Cramer, administrator reported that in pursuance of a Court order dated Jan. 5, 1841, the sale of the following was conducted: No. 1, containing 50 acres sold to Christian MECKLEY for $311.41 1/2; No. 2, containing 19 acres, to John ROHRBACH for $189.43 3/4; No. 3, containing 80 acres, the homestead part, to Catherine Lehman for $298.12 1/2; No. 4, containing 9 acres, to Joseph GRAYBILL for $85.81 (Orphans Court Dockets, U. 145). P

Johann married Anna Maria "Mary" Lehman about 1823 in York County, Pennsylvania. Anna (daughter of Anton Lehmann and Catarina Emigh) was born on 15 Jun 1792 in Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania; died on 28 Nov 1875 in York County, Pennsylvania; was buried in Saint Jacobs (Stone Church Cemetery), Codorus Township, York County, Pennsylvania.

Notes:

Also shown as "Polly" by some.

At the time of the 1860 and 1870 Federal census, she was living with her daughter and son-in-law, Julia Ann and Benjamin Hildebrand in Codorus, York County, PA. In 1860 she was listed as Mary Cramer, age 66, Widow, and born in Pennsylvania. In 1870 she was again shown as Mary Cramer, but her age was shown as 87, apparently in error.
