KLEMM, Johann Conradt 1 2 3 4 5
The relationship between Johann Conradt Klemm and the Klemm family that settled in Shenandoah County, Virginia, is not fully known. Although it is very likely that this Johann Conradt is descended in some fashion from Johann Conradt Klemm (b. 1678, Ittlingen, Germany; d. 1754, U.S.), who immigrated to America with his family in 1747, the exact relationship is still unclear.
Johann married Susannah GREENWOOD on 11 Feb 1778 in Cumberland County, Maryland. (Susannah GREENWOOD was born in 1759 in Poss. Maryland, died on 7 Nov 1842 in Vigo County, Indiana and was buried in 1842 in Prob. Vigo County, Indiana.) |

He died April 18, 1827, leaving a will which he made in 1822. I have a photostat of this will and also a copy of the inventory of his personal property.
He willed his property to his "beloved wife, Susannah" and the "right of soil" to his sons. He mentioned his daughters, but did not give any of his children's names in [his] will, but I found at the courthouse in Hamilton, Ohio, where his eight sons had disposed of the 120 acres after his death.
