Probably daughter of Lawrence Kramer and Anna Sophia Catherine Jost who lived in Rockhill in 1779; 200 acres 4 horses, 6 cattle, and Lawrence died before 1800. They had a daughter Anna Maria baptized on May 4, 1765 at Tohickon Luth; sp, Widow Kramer. Name could have been entered incorrectly and it was Anna Elisabeth. Date of baptism would be correct for Anna Elisabeth.

Philip H. Rapp who recorded the information wrote a note that the children had been entered irregularly and that he had taken the information from bibles and other books. See page 368 of Tohickon Church records. Therefor "Anna Maria" may have been copied incorrectly.
