Emanuel Hermanus CLAPPER II198,8236 was born in 1738 in Clappertown, now Barbara, Huston Twp., Blair Co., PA.1410 The birth place may have been Germany and is being investigated. He was also known as Herman, Harman or Manus.1410 The birth place may have been Germany and is being investigated. He died in 1815 at the age of 77 in Clappertown, now Barbara, Huston Twp., Blair Co., PA.

The spelling of Herman may appear as Harmon, Manus, and in an Article of Agreement found in Huntingdon Co. courthouse his name is spelled in the latin form of Hermanus. Herman CLAPPER, married Catherine ???? while living in Washington Co. MD From the Washington Co. deeds I found in Book B, 419, dated Nov. 28, 1780 that Harman CLAPPER, Washington Co., farmer, and wife, Catherine sold to Rev. George YOUNG of Elizabethtown, for 425 pounds, all that tract on which Harman CLAPPER now lives, known as "Nazareth", formerly the property of Joseph WOLLAMOTT, deceased, 100 acres. This must have been when Herman and his wife, Catherine sold out and moved to PA. In the U.S. census of 1790 Harmon CLAPPER is listed in Huntingdon Co. PA as having 1 male under 16, and 2 females. In an Article of agreement, Will Book 1, Vol. M, Page 131, dated Ced 26, 1803, Hermanus and Catherine CLAPPER mention the following children; 1. Mary, who died June 28, 1791, married Anthony BEAVER, his first marriage, 2. Susanna (died Sep. 24 1849, married Anthony BEAVER, his second marriage 3. Daniel, who married Catherine LOWER; 4. Henry; 5. John; 6. Jacob, who married Lucinda ???; 7 George, who married first a MOYER, and his second marriage was to Matilda FOUSE; and 8. Catherine, who married Frederick HERRING.
In the Article of Agreement Herman states that his land on Piney Creek, now in Blair Co. PA, was conveyed to him by John BRUMBAUGH containing 110 acres and 18 perches.
Letters of Administration were granted to Ludwig CLAPPER, his brother, and Jacob BRUMBAUGH on the Herman Clapper estate on Jan. 23, 1804, so Herman must have died between Dec. 26, 1803 and Jan. 23, 1804. Mr STEWART in his history gives Herman's name as Emanuel. This is because probably he saw the name written as Manus somewhere and thought it was short name for Emanuel.
This was all in one paragraph so that is how I copied it. I find a number of differences between these 2 pages and "the Clappers in America" information.
I plan to try to find this article the next time I go to Altoona PA maybe next Spring. My husband and I have been searching various family members of his and mine so have visited a number of PA libraries. We often come home and find something we "missed" in the papers we have copied and wish we could see that "report" or "book" again.
