      From History of Northumberland County, pg 357:
      KLOCKS. The first ancestor of this old family in America was Peter Klock,
      a German by birth, who came to this country about 1750. His first location was
      somewhere in Berks county, in the Province of Pennsylvania, according to some
      in Bern township, according to others near Womelsdorf, and again in Oley
      township. It is probable that the last named location is more nearly the
      correct one.

      At any rate, Oley township was the homeof one Peter Kluck in
      1756, on March 24th of which year the house of Peter Kluck, about fourteen
      miles from Reading, was set on fire by the savages, and the whole family
      killed. (Berks County History, 1909, says Peter Kluck and family, of Albany,
      were killed by the Indians in March, 1756.) While the flames were still
      ascending the Indians made an assault upon the house of one Linderman, in which
      there were two men and one woman, all of whom ran upstairs, where the woman was
      killed by a shot which went through the roof.

      John Peter Klock, the ancestor of the Klocks in Northumberland county of
      whom we write, was born Jan. 1, 1743, and as tradition has it that he came to
      America when seven years old - this substantiates the date of 1750 for the
      emigration of Peter Kluck, whom the Indians killed. Rupp's History makes the
      statement that the "whole family was killed," which is probably inaccurate, as
      John Peter Klock is said to have been and undoubtedly was a son of Peter
      Kluck. He died Dec. 9, 1817, aged seventy-five years, less twenty four days.

      His wife, Margareda, born April 10, 1747, died April 4, 1832. They
