bgordon@julian.uwo.ca The information I have researched is about #40 v. in the William's genealogy who is Jacob, born about 1754, known as Jacob C. and Jacob Con. in the records, son of Conrad Clock, one of the minors in Henry's will. The William's genealogy states a marriage for him to Hannah Forbes, Oct. 2 1763, at Trinity Church of New York. I have reason to believe that this is an error and the marriage belongs to the Dutch Clock family of New York. Jacob Conrad married Anna Eva Staring, born about 1758, daughter of Jacob Staring, in 1774, Herkimer, German Flatts. Jacob and Anna Eva arrived in York Township, York County, Ontario, Canada about 1802. According to his petitions he had 4 children at the time of the reduction and thirteen children on arrival in Canada. This information along with the census information of 1790, Palatine, NY, clarifies some of the known children and unknown ones.
They are: 1) Lena, baptised 17 Sep 1776, German Flatts. Speculation is that she married Johannes G. Etel. No evidence yet she was in York Township.
2) Jacob, born 24 Jun 1778, baptised 1 Jul 1778, German Flatts. Speculation is that he married Margaret Elizabeth Christman. Some evidence that descendants from this union may have been in the Oshawa/Bowmanville area of Ontario.
3) Catherine, speculative birth date 1780 who married George Riffenburgh/Rissinburg/Reisingburgh in 1803 at St. James Anglican Church, Town of York (now Toronto). Lived in Etobicoke, York County, in 1846 and George witnessed Jacob Conrad's will in 1832 when Jacob died.
4) a male, speculative birth birth date 1782. No evidence yet he was in York Township.
5) Margaret, speculative birth date 1784, who married Benajah Rouse and who had a child Benajah baptised at St. James in 1809. Descendants lived in the Whitby/ Oshawa region of Ontario. Benajah was a ferryman at Niagara who drowned. Margaret then married George Anderson, son of Elias Anderson, UEL.
6) Joseph, baptised 12 Apr 1785, German Flatts. Evidence of him in York Township as a sponsor of the above child Benajah and a marriage witness.
7) a Male, speculative birth 1786-7. No evidence yet he was in York Township.
8) Elizabeth, baptised 23 Nov 1788, St. Johnsville Reform, who married Jacob Anderson, son of Elias Anderson, UEL, 10 Dec 1810, St James Church, witness Joseph Clock. They eventually go to King Township, York County.
9) Maria (Mary) baptised 12 Jul 1790, St. Johnsville Reform, who married Edward Phillips, 13 Mar 1809, St. James. They lived in Etobicoke area of York County. Information on many descendants
10) Johannes, baptised Mar 1792, St. Johnsville Reform, who married Mary Diver, daughter of John Diver, 16 Mar 1815, St James. No further information on this family.
11) Conrad, birth date from his petition, 1796. Known to have married Leanny and who in 1825 had a wife, 4 boys and 1 girl. They were in the vicinity of Pickering/Whitby/Bowmanvile area as well as Toronto area. No further information.
12) David, birth date from his petition, 1797. He married Diadema Diver, daughter of John Diver. No marriage yet found although Diadema was baptised at St. James, age 16, 13 Mar 1816, presumably just before her marriage. David died at Toronto in 1846 and his family then migrated to Michigan where there are many descendants to-day.
13) Ann, speculative birth 1799-1800. She married Henry Phillips, 11 Feb 1817, St James. Henry Phillips was the brother of Mary Clock's husband Edward. Also connected to this family in York Township was Eliza Scarlett who was mentioned in Jacob Conrad's will as his grandaughter. She eventually marries Jacob Delong and then John Burkholder. There is also a possible Catherine Clock who married David Delong. The connection here is being looked into. Margaret http://threerivershms.com/visitors.htm
