Immigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania in 1747. Johann remained in PA, where he died in 1754 in Montgomery Co., PA. Sons included Johan Davidt Klemm, Johann Adam Klemm, and Johann Valentin Klemm. Also had by a former marriage three sons: Johann William Klemm, Johann Conrad Klemm, and Wolfgang Friederich Klemm. His sons with the given name Johann were probably known by their middle names. There is a possibility that Adam Clemm is a descendant of this family.
