Notes:

Per BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF VAN WERT COUNTY (Ohio) "John Cramer was eighteen years of age when he accompanied his parents to Seneca County, Ohio, and had then finished his education. Until twenty-one years of age he remained on the home farm, and then engaged as a laborer in a saw-mill in Seneca County for two years, and then, in 1847, he married and bought eighty acres of land, on which he at once located and cultivated until 1864, when he came to Van Wert and bought 120 acres in Pleasant township, where he now resides and still owns 75 acres of finely improved land. The family all worship in the Methodist Episcopal faith, and in politics Mr. Cramer is a prohibitionist; he is a member of the grange No. 82, of which he was the treasurer for 14 years."

FindAGrave lists his date of birth as 9 Oct 1822, and date of death as 10 Jan 1912. A photo of an engraved double tombstone, with a second wife, Sarah J. Cramer, shows the dates as 6 Oct 1833 through 11 Jan 1912. Dean Cramer has an earlier date of death, 11 November 1905.

Johannes married Ann Eve Shaffner on 29 Dec 1847 in Seneca County, Ohio. Ann (daughter of Martin Shaffner and Ann E. Wirt) was born on 17 Sep 1830 in Crawford County, Ohio; died on 28 Mar 1901 in Van Wert County, Ohio; was buried in Woodland Union Cemetery, Van Wert, Van Wert County, Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Clarence E. Cramer writes that his baptismal sponsors were his maternal grandparents, Johann and Elisabetha Neidig. He was named in honor of Johann(es) Neudig. He indicated that after his marriage, he and Catharina lived near the Stone Church. He moved to Fostoria, Ohio sometime between 1837 and 1840...(with) printed records for each of these dates, as well as Family tales. (P. 57).

Edith Beard Cannon, in "Genealogical Reports for The Historical Society of York County, Vol. XXIX, p. 52, Evidence of the Cramer Families of York before the year 1850 REVISED" published 1843, cited the following deed:

(3A, 29) December 26, 1814. Johannes Cramer of Shrewsbury Township, yeoman; to John KOLLER: for $1.50: lot 18 in Shrewsbury town.

According to the "Biographical History of Van Wert County (Ohio), Volume II" John Cramer Sr came to Ohio in 1840 and settled on a farm in Seneca County, where he died June 29, 1856, his wife having departed September 16, 1854. They were both members of the German Lutheran Church, and in politics, Mr. Cramer was a democrat. He had served in the war of 1812 as a captain, and was an honored man in his community, where he left a fair fortune. (p. 154) In the book "Seneca County, Biographical Sketches" it says that John and Catherine (Slote) Cramer settled in Loudon Township, Seneca County, in 1838, and purchased 160 acres of land, most of which they cleared and improved and where they lived; here the father died in 1855, in his sixty fifth year; and the mother in 1854, in her sixty second year. (Loudon Township, p 893)

According to Dean Cramer, John donated some of his own land for the Cramer Cemetery in Fostoria, Ohio.

At the time of the 1850 census, a Martin and Rebecsa Schaffner were living next to Ann Shaffner and John Cramer in Bloom Township, Seneca County, Ohio. FindAGrave notes that "he became somewhat of a legendary person in the Shaffner genealogy, often noted for his "three wives and 21 children." In fact, he was widowed three times and married four times. He is also known to have had more than 125 grandchildren, many of whom were born after his death, even though he lived to be 83. He also had more than 300 great-grandchildren. "
