Notes

Note: The following is a discharge certificate from the Prussian Government, relinquishing citizenship in that country. In 1855 the government was Prussian, not German.
The undersigned Royal Government hereby certifies that Christian Frederick Kramer from Claushagen, born 20 May 1799, at his request and his intention to emigrate to America with his wife, Maria Christine Koeppen, born 30 Jun 1800, and the following children, under parental supervision Christian Frederick, born 9 Sep 1828 George Frederick Wilhelm, born 23 Aug 1844 has been granted discharge from the Prussian citizenship. This discharge document is valid only for the persons named above and is effective at the time of issue.
Issued in Potsdam (capital of Prussia)
Discharge Certificate #2214 in Aug 1855
(It is thought that these certificates were numbered beginning at the first of each month, indicating that this certificate Number 2,214 was issued at the peak of the immigration wave.)
1/2 Thaler paid (Thaler was a form of currency)
Two other Kramer brothers also emigrated and came to settle with the family, apparently at a later date.

Americanized his given name and was known as "Fred" and "Fritz".

Following the death of Christian Friedrich Kramer II in 1867, there apparently were two mortgages issued by the father to each of two sons, William and Frederick. These mortgages were recorded only 8 months before his death and upon his death the family probably wiped the debt clean as part of the estate settlement.
