Information researched by Elaine Johnson using information found on the internet at Ancestry.com and other sources.   I just randomly picked his name from the roster and started researching to see what I could find on him.  I started with the pension records that showed his wife's name and went from there.

Letter of 7/19/1972 from Thomas C. Imler

Your letter of 7/14/1972 gave me hope that I might be able to get another Imler family for the Family History of the Imlers in America; "They Planted a Tree in the Wilderness". You see it was the family that your Mary was part of that started me in 1962 to try to get the Imlers
together... 

All we know of Mary was that she was born 1808 died 1886 and married A. J. Anders who moved to Ohio. In 1912, her son Junior who was running for Senator from Iowa was at the first Imler Reunion at Imler, Pa.  He has his picture taken in the auto with his colored driver. 

Mary was the eldest child of Jacob & Christiana (Claycomb) Imler (daughter of Henry). She had two brothers Daniel and Jacob, Jr. and five sisters; Eliza married George Claycomb, Eve married Juhn (Huntz) Ickes; Susan married to John Beckley; Sarah married Isaac Cobbler; and Julia Ann married Fred Daugherty. 

Mary's father Jacob Imler born 1786, died Jan., 1, 1853 married Christiana Claycomb born 1784, died March 7, 1851 both buried in the Old Union Cemetery at Osterburg, Pa.  

Jacob was the eleventh child of George Michael & Catherine (Walter) Imler. Jacob was a brother of my great-great grandfather Peter Imler. All of Jacob's brothers and sisters except the oldest was born in Bedford County, Pa.

George Michael Imler born 1739 in what is now Adams Co., Pa. married Catharine Walter 1761, migrated to Bedford Co. 1763. They had six sons and six daughters. Five sons and five daughters were married. George died 1816 and Catherine some years later, they are buried on the farm he owned, in "Dutch Corner" Bedford Township, Bedford Co.

George Michael was the son of George Mark and Esther Anna (_____) Imler.  Both born in Germany, him in 1705, her in 1713. He arrived in America, in Philadelphia on Sept. 21, 1732 she on Oct. 11, 1733. She came with her father-in-law Wilhelm Imler born 1678 in Germany and died shortly after landing in Philadelphia in 1733.

Catherine was the daughter of Rudolph and Hannah Barbara Walter both born in Germany and came to America in 1735.

... I almost forgot to mention George Michael was soldier in the Revolutionary War. ...

Letter of Aug. 6, 1972

In answering your letter of July 31, 1972, I found the data on your Mary in the records of both Daniel Imler's records and the Cobblers' records. On the Walters or Walders; by the Walters records Rudolph returned twice to Germany before he finally stayed in Philadelphia. On the Anders, I do not have much except an Abraham Anders who married George Claycomb's widow Elizabeth Croyle, who was niece of my Great Grandmother Imler. On the Claycombs, all I have is that Jacob Imler, while delivering animal skins to Virginia, met Christine, wooed her and married her. Her father Henry and two of her brothers, Henry Jr. and Conrad came to Bedford Co. after the wedding. Her grandfather Conrad first settled in Lancaster Co., in Cairnarvon Twp. where his name was spelled Klekham, Kleham, Kleckam. But in Virginia where he moved after 1773 it was Claycomb. Three of his sons were in the Revolutionary War, but all three migrated to Kentucky.

Children of Amariah Anders and Mary Imler:

  1. Daniel Anders b: 13 Dec 1826 in Bedford Co., Pa.
  2. John Anders b: BET. 1832 - 1834 in Bedford Co, Pa
  3. Sarah Ann Anders b: 1839 in New Philadelphia, Ohio
