I recently purchased Barker's CD, and there is quite a bit of information on the KLOCK family that I have not entered. One of these days (i.e., months), I will get Barker's data entered into my database. In reviewing the report shown below, I notice an unlikely relationship: Did Jacob Klock actually married his NIECE Catherine NELLIS. Is this correct? My husband's line continues through the Catherine NELLIS' marriage to Adam ZIMMERMAN (their dau Catherine ZIMMERMAN m. Frederick SNELL, Jr.). Kim Branagan FIRST GENERATION 1. Hendrick KLOCK was born in 1663.1 He signed a will on 12 Jul 1743.2 He died in 1760.3 He was a Dutch Indian Trader.4 He was buried in Old Klock Cemetery, east of St. Johnsville, NY. Henrick Klock came to America in 1704. He was on Hunter's Lists of Palatine Immigrants, 1709. He was among the first white settlers in the Palatine Church district, 3 miles east of St. Johnsville, New York. Henrick Klock was friends with King Hendrick, Mohawk Chieftan. Henrick Klock took the oath of naturalization in Albany on October 11, 1715. He was married to Maria Margaretha SCHROPHER.5,6 Maria Margaretha SCHROPHER was buried in Klock Cemetery, St. Johnsville, NY.7 Hendrick KLOCK and Maria Margaretha SCHROPHER had the following children: +2 i.

She was born on 18 Jan 1724.13 She died on 20 Aug 1805 in Montgomery Co., NY.14,15 She was buried in Klock Cemetery, St. Johnsville, Montgomery Co., NY.16,17 Catharine was buried in the Christian Nellis, Jr. plot. 3.

She was buried in Klock Church Yard, east of St. Johnsville, Albany Co., NY.21 She was married to Christian NELLIS (son of NFN NELLIS and Maria Elizabeth (NELLISIN)) on 28 Feb 1717/18 in New York, perhaps Schoharie Co..22,23 Christian NELLIS24,25,26 was born in 1697 in Germany.27 He died in 1771.28 He was buried in Klock Church Yard, east of St. Johnsville, Albany Co., NY.29 On 31 Jan 1715/16, Christian was naturalized at Albany. In 1725, he obtained 650 acres, Lot #12 of the Harris Patent, land held in the family of Christian Nellis until about 1887, when it was sold to a Nellis relation. Christian was listed as a freeholder at Canajoharie in 1763. Jeptha R. Simms, the 1882 author of Frontiersman of New York (2 vols., Geo. C. Riggs Publisher, Albany, NY), classified Christian Nellis as the head of one of the wealthiest and "best" families in the Palatine district; that he was a patentee of Freys Bush land in 1767. Simms also indicated that Christian's house was not far from Fort Klock, was strengthened, and called Fort Nellis. Smith indicated that the structure, which may be the Nellis Tavern, was a farm house constructed by Christian Nellis in 1747. Remaining in the family, a second story addition and a wing were added to create a tavern and store in 1790. The tavern is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is being restored.
