I have been doing a major review, correcting and updating of my genealogy pages some of which I started over 30 years ago. I have focused on the direct ancestors and have not checked all the data on siblings and their descendants. I have removed many speculative ancestors which has no sources to support them. I use Wikitree to check current research. It is the most up to date research in terms of accuracy as you must put in sources. Its goal is to have one profile per person and resolve conflicting trees. Find A Grave but especially ancestry.com trees are riddled with errors. Errors found in ancestry.com are impossible to correct as trees get copied and there is no mechanism to correct an error. I am now adding to Wikitree including sources in an effort to combat the errors in ancestry.com. Wikitree also can have errors or speculation but it it us significantly more accurate.

DNA matches. I have used a DNA symbol 🧬 to indicate where I have a match to someone who descends from that specific part of my tree.

Claus Family Tree

Claus Name Meaning: Variant spelling of German Klaus, which is from a popular personal name, a reduced form of Nikolaus (see Nicholas). This spelling is also found in Dutch. Occitan: topographic name for someone who lived by an enclosure of some sort, such as a courtyard or farmyard, from Late Latin clausum ‘enclosure’, ‘closed’, originally the past participle of claudere ‘to close’.

• From a book of German marriages: Elias Claussen Claußen m. 27 Nov 1682 Herrnsheim, Hessen, Germany Maria Nütgens. But searching the records for that area produced no recorded marriage. If it is real its about 100 miles from Backnang.

• Mary is not named in the will for unknown reasons. It May have been becasue of who she married or Mary may have been preganct when she married.
• A decendant of Margaret Clouse is on the spot on my DNA for Isaac Williamd and Mary Claus. No guarentee she does not have an unknown connection to Isaac but the most likely is she is another child of Johann George Claus.
• Because Mary was not named in the will we were not sure she was a daughter vs a stepdaughter. But 3 DNA matches have been made between Linda Martino and 3 descnedants of 2 Claus children of Jahan. Their trees do not indicate another place we connect.
• George Luton did a lot of the early research. The detailed reseach today is contributed by Thomas Claus.
• He purchased lot 10 from William Goldsbar Banyar 13 Nov 1774 Cobleskill NY
• Johan Georg Claus is a U.E.L. United Empire Loyalist. On 29 May 1775 Johan Georg Claus joined the Committee of Safety, as did most of his neighbours; They were Loyalists. Next it joined the Butler's Rangers.
• THE PETITION OF JOHN CLAUS Pg. 42 To His Excellency, Major General Simcoe, Lieut. Govr. Upper Canada Commanding the said Province,
  The Petition of John Claus, Humbly Sheweth.
  That your Petitioner in July, 1777 joined the army then before Fort Stanwix and brought in Sixty men with me, most of them joined Sir John Johnson's Corps and others Butler's Rangers for the truth of this your Petitioner refers to Captain Brant who is well acquainted with the circumstances. Your Petitioner joined Butler's Rangers and have been in several engagements and taken 5 Prisoners; for the truth of which your Petitioner begs leave to refer to Major John McDonell and for a general Character, in the year 1783 Your Petitioner was sent into the Provinces, now States, to take a Prisoner and gain intelligence by order of Genl. McLean & Col.
  Butler, in which expedition your Petitioner was badly wounded and left for dead by the Party suffered for 14 days without fire or anything to eat by wild garlick - since the Peace in the year 1794, your Petitioner was unfortunate in having his Barn and all his grain destroyed by fire, your Petitioner begs Your Excellency to enquire of Major McDonell for the authenticity of what is in general stated by your Petitioner who further Prays that your Excellency May take his situation into consideration and should it appear consistent to grant your Petitioner, an additional bounty of Lands. Your Petitioner as in duty bound Ever Pray.
  JOHN CLAUS, An Old Soldier
• Based on his Petition.. Endorsed: Recommended to grant 200 acres in addition for himself and 200 acres for his wife, the Daughter of a Loyalist. Read Aug 18, 1795.
• He moved to Lincoln, Niagara, Canada where we was awarded land as a Loyalist. .
• War 1812. He served in the Lincoln 4th Lincoln Regiment as quartermaster. His son Nicholas served as a regular enlisted man under Robert Nelles 1814/5. The 4th Lincoln Regiment was involved in the Battles of Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane.
• He served on the Clinton Township Council for several years and was 'Overseer of the Upper Road' in charge of seeing that settlers fulfilled their obligations to maintain the road in front of their farms
• Nicolas also served in the Rebellion of 1838.
• Calus Marker" John CLAUS, U. E. leading a party of sixty Loyalists joined Chief Joseph BRANT of the Six Nations Indians in Mohawk Valley in 1767 and following the Revolutionary War in 1783 came from Tryon County in New York State. On Feb 10th 1797 he received a Crown Grant for 300 acres composed of Lot. No. four in the 3rd Concession and lots No. two and three in the 4th Concession of the Township of Clinton, County of Lincoln in Home District. On Dec 31st 1798 he received a Crown Grant for 400 acres composed of Lots nos. eight and nine in the 2nd Concession in the Township of Delaware County of Suffolk, Western District. He was the pioneer of the Claus family being one of the first U. E. Loyalists to settle in Upper Canada no Ontario. Erected by his great grandchildren 1961
• Johan Georg's wife Margaret named in his will was the widow of Johannis Casselman (another Butler's Ranger and U.E.L.) to see if he died by h. But its not clear when John Casselman died such that Margaret could be the mother of Mary. He died before 1816 but there is no transfer of his land to his son to determine if he dies before Mary Clasu. William Casselman named in the will of Johan Georg Claus. Margaret ? Casselman Claus would have been around 48 when Mary was born. Possible but not common. So Johan could have had a wife inbetween Mary Buck and Margaret. Mary Buck died in childbirth or with in months of John Frederick's birth so he must have gotten help. Mary could be illegitmate. If any Williams descendant gets a DNA match to children by Margaret's first husband John Casselman it will resolve the issue. I expect this issue will only be resolved by DNA.

• Esslingen am Nectar - About half the population lost their lives in the Thirty Years War between 1618 and 1648 through famine or epidemics.
• Evangelisch means "of the Gospel", denoting a Protestant Reformation emphasis on sola scriptura, "by scripture alone". Martin Luther encouraged the use of this term alongside Christian.

Comments

• * death record
• Emma A White has a birth date very close to Lewis White but they come from Emma's birth cert and Lewis death cert.
• Isaac moved to Canada when he was 14. He was a social agitator all his life. They had 8 sons and 4 daughters Isaac Jr, Hannah, Albert, and John were all married by David Griffith in the M.E. Church in Bayham. Indentures to children when Isaac died were: 4865, 5953, 6152 - Hiram and Albert held the land for awhile - eventually Robert took Hiram's when Hiram moved to MI. Mary Ann and Amos Cartwright moved to Tuscola 1859, Isaac 1863, Hannah by 1864, Elizabeth 1868-1870 and Hiram in 1875. In 1868 Robert was in Houghton Twp in Norfolk Co and those not in Tuscola were in Bayham.
• Elizabeth's death record lists Polly Efland as her mother
• The 1842 census implies Isaac is naturalized
• Isaac is the spelling used in the 1828, 1842, and 1861 census and his gravestone
• Isaac and Mary live near John Claus in Clinton Twp Lincoln Co in 1828. The census shows a son born by 1828 as well as the 1842 census.

" HIRAM d. WILLIAMS. The farmer located on section 24, Vassar Township, Tuscola County, is he whose name appears above. He is a son of Isaac Williams, a native of New York, who went to Canada when fourteen years of age, and there spent the remainder of his life. He married Mary Claus, a native of the Dominion, and to them were born twelve children, eight sons and four daughters. He was always a farmer and socially an agitator. He died Mar 29, 1868, and his wife May 19, 1879.

Hiram d. Williams was born Aug 17, 1837, in Canada. He was reared in his native place and in his young manhood was married to Miss Mary Hunt, a daughter of Hezekiah Hunt, a native of Maine, who emigrated to Canada, and there married Hannah Kinney, a native of Nova Scotia. Mrs. Williams was one of nine children born to her parents, there being six daughters and three sons. Her father was a farmer by calling. In their church affiliations they were members of the Church of England.

To our subject and his wife seven children have been born. They are: Mary F., Margaret H. (deceased), Hannah E., Abigail J., Lorenzo H., Alice M., and Ernest L. Mr. Williams has always been interested in farming. He came to Michigan in 1875, and settled in Vassar Township on a farm of one hundred and ten acres. He now owns fifty-two acres. He has cleared his land and put upon it excellent improvements, having set out a fine orchard as well as built a good class of buildings upon his place. He was one of the first settlers in this part of the township. "

• From the inquest of Ernest. "On Tuesday afternoon last, Ernest Williams, a young man of sixteen, and Willie Hutchins, a lad of thirteen years were out hunting rabbits. The boys had their ferrets along and had placed one in a hole. While young Williams stood guard on a log with gun raised ready to shoot the retreating animal as it emerged from the hole. His foot slipped and he fell striking the hammer of the gun against a limb, discharging the weapon, the full load shot taking effect in the left side of young man's head, killing him instantly.The accident happened about 5 o'clock and Hutchins ran and summoned the unfortunate lad's father to the scene of the disaster.The father hastened to the spot and by the aid of a neighbor carried his son home. An inquest was held over the remains on Wednesday, and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts."

Williams Family Videos

There were films taken at the same time as the 2 photos above. Clare WIlliams took many films of the families in the 40s to 60s. I have taken the 5 DVDs & compiled them into 3 smaller videos: The new videos are enhanced compared to the orginals. The YouTube videos are very compressed and therefore lower quality. If you email me with your mailing address I will send you a flash drive of the higher quality files.

The family includes Lorenzo's sister Abbie, his sister Francis' son Earl Adams and family, and his cousin Cora as well as all his children and some of their families.

Isaac Williams ancestors/relatives based on DNA

Using y-dna testing, the following have a shared common ancestor to Isaac Williams. y-dna testing is only used to say 2 men have a common male ancestor through the male descent - that is father to son to grandson etc. Typically both the tester and the ancestor have the same last name unless there has been a name change between a father and son at some point in the line of descent. So any direct male descendant of our Isaac Williams ancestor with have identical or nearly identical y-dna tests. The y-dna markers chosen to test are a mix of markers that mutate at different rates to try and separate how close the association is.

The good news is there are 3 likely men who are related to our Isaac. Two arel likely brothers, 1st cousins, 2nd cousins and the 3rd a little more distant. The bad news is unfortunately none have parents etc that are confirmed for them. So its not advancing us to a breakthrough in our tree immediatley, but it gives us a place to focus our research instead of the entire state of NY. The 2 closest (Adonijah and Ira Vincent) came from the same town in NY Catatonk (Candor) Tioga County NY. The third (Ambroise) is a little further genetically. He was born in NY and moved to NJ and then PA. Exactly where he came from in NY is unknown. Catatonk (Candor) Tioga County NY actually has a lot of Williams around the early 1800's A Hiram Williams has a lot of identified ancestors but so far is not connected to Adonijah, Ira Vincent or our Isaac. But Hiram is interesting as the names Hiram and Isaac go up his tree. Still they are common names. Others have speculated a Thomas Williams is the father of Adonijah and Ira Vincent.

We have a second Isaac Willimas direct male descnednat who has taken a y-dna test. He has one mutation diffent from my brother. nces between . Next step is to try and find if there ane any direct male descnedants of other William sfrom Catatonk (Candor) Tioga County NY to see if any of the Williams in that town such as Hiram b. 1757 CT who lived in Catatonk (Candor) are connected via y-dna testing. What y-dna testing does is rule in or rule our a relationship based on direct male descent even if it does not answere the specific details of the connection.

I have checked and I do have an autosomal match to a descendant of Ira Vincent Williams. I would like all my Williams cousins who have done autosomal tests to look for any matches to these men. I also have an autosomal match to someone who has an ancestor Simeon Williams qho lived in Candor NY during that same period of time. With autosomal you do not know how you are related but that bears further investigation.

But this is a significant improvement over just knowing Isaac was born in NY to unknown parents. If any one wants to look at the details of the DNA markers for Isaac and these men below let me know and I will give you access.
