    Notes 
    • Email dated 7 Feb 2000 from Anne (Percival) Kruszka: "I have here in my hot little hands a patron submission form for the LDS on one Friedrich Christoph Ernst Klevesaat born 20 Feb 1809 in Rosenow Germany. He was the son of Johann Christian Klevesaat and Elisabeth Catharina Neuendorf. I think this Johan Christian Klevesaat was the brother of my G-g-g grandfather, Jurgen Gustav Klevesaat. I also have the microfilms at the local LDS where I volunteer. I'll see how many Ernst Klevesaat's I can find. In some of the records on my family I have seen the name spelled Klesaert."

      KLEESAAT, Ernst 48 M Farmer Home: Germany Destination: USA Sophia 42, Marie 19, Johann 17, Carl 7, Ernst 5 Ship: Elbe From: Hamburg To: New York Arr'd: 14 Apr 1857


      The family can be found in Elba, Genesee County, New York at the time of the 1860 Federal Census. In examining the microfilm, I did not locate son Johann, who would have been approximately 19. It is also interesting to note that Mary is still living at home even though she had married some seven months earlier. Her husband, George Gesse, was living two homes away, as a laborer in the Taylor household. Perhaps he was under contract, or working to save money for their move to Michigan.

      At the time of the 1870 and 1880 Federal census enumerations, Ernst and Sophia were living in Sherman Township, St. Joseph County, Michigan, in the home of their son, Johann. They lived two households away from daughter Marie and her husband George Jesse.
