Cornelius Klingaman/Clingaman [7474] 36
- Born: Bet 1750 and 1760, Germany
- Marriage: Unknown
General Notes:
Information on David's father: I will type word for word from the information I received from Jean Cook. CORNELIUS KLINGMAN - Probably born between 1750 - 1760. He came from Germany before 1776, as he served in the Revolutionary War. They first settled in Massachusetts, then later went to Pennington Twp., PA. He had two brothers, one remained in Germany and the other went to England. Cornelius had seven sons: DAVID, JOHN, JACOB, PETER, MICHAEL, CHRISTIAN and GEORGE. Julie
This is also from Bessie Cook-Rothrock: KLINGAMAN HISTORY The Klingaman name came down to us with Cornelius Klingamn, from Germany. This name still exists in Germany and is spelled Klingamants. Pronunciation is Kling-ah-man. Foreign names in the United States go through two changes, either a translation, as Schwartz to Black, Weiss to White, or the spelling becomes Anglicized as Schwartz becomes Swartz or Swarts, and Weiss becomes Wise. Another change is apt to occur by spelling the German pronunciation in English. So we lost somewhere a final N from Mann because of the English spelling of 'man'. Later some Klingaman settled in a Yankee settlement and the Yankees were unable to pronounce his name correctly, saying KlingERman, which in time became the spelling there. (Yankees still say 'Idear for Idea). A man who came from Bovania, Germany, said his name was spelled Klingamann in Germany and that the Klingamanns came from Switzerland in 1650. --------
CENSUS' I HAVE FOUND: 1. Cornelius Clingaman on the 1790 PA Census, Penn (Twp?), Northampton Co.
2. David Clingaman on the 1830 OH Census, Washington Twp., Stark Co.
3. David Clingman on the 1850 OH Census, Nimishillen Twp., Stark Co. I'm not sure if this is the right David Clingaman. It lists: David age 64 born in PA Catharine age 54 born in PA Daniel age 30 born in PA Polly age 23 born in PA Catharine age 14 born in OH.
