Notebooks - Mom's Families #7


Branom, Jeanne. "Kalcklőser / Colclasure Family Research," Typescript, 1998.

Johan Hendrick Kalcklőser was born in Frankenthal (Rhineland Palatinate), Germany about 1696.(1)  Frankenthal is near Mannheim. Very little proof is available, at this time, concerning the early life of Johan Hendrick. However, it is probable that he joined the Seventh Day Baptists at an early age, since it has been recorded that he left Frankenthal at age 19 to join Alexander Mack's group in Schwarzenau (Wittgentstein),(2) due to religious persecution in the Frankenthal area. . . . 

In 1724, after the reading of the banns (three times at two-week intervals) or proclamations, Johan Hendrick and Anna Flys Layen were married on 28 February 1724.(4)  It is believed that all three sons were born of this union. Some time between the date of this marriage and the departure for Philadelphia in 1729, Anna Flys Layen probably died, since Johan Hendrick had a different wife, Agnes (Anna) Margaretha,(5) at the time of sailing from Rotterdam. (Alexander Mack, Jr. records that he knew "the two wives of Johan Hendrick.")(6) . . . 

The ship Allen arrived in Philadelphia on 15 September 1729.(7) Among the passengers were Johan Hendrick Kalcklőser with his family: his wife Agnes, sons Christophel (or
