1860 Census
FindAGrave notes that In 1860, he was a railroad employee living in Glen Rock, however he is not indexed in Glen Rock, PA in 1860 by Ancestry.com. Might he actually have been the Martin Cramer, age 17 and born in Pennsylvania, who can be found on the 1860 census in Manhiem, York County, PA in the home of Jacob and Elizabeth Lammot. Could Solomon Cramer's wife Elizabeth have remarried instead of dying young? Martin is simply listed as a boarder in the home. He is the oldest of the children in the home, the Lammot children being Calvin, 15, Elizabeth, 12, Cornelius, 10 and Ellen age 6 months. Dean Cramer and Rosalie Sommer both show that Martin H. Cramer was a son of Solomon Cramer and Elizabeth La Motte. Perhaps that was her married name, and not maiden name.
