Notes - Clement Studebaker came to America with his brother Peter in 1736 from Solingen Germany. The passenger list of the English Ship HARLE showed them arriving in 1736. Then a copy of a letter from the brothers back to Germany was discovered in 1962 in the possession of an American descendant. However, without the original, or some other verification, this still was not proof. In 1970 a cousin went to Germany with very little knowledge, but putting together tiny bits of information, she found the lade who owned the original letter. It had survived the second world war in a small safe. Subsequently the letter was purchased from the owner and is now in the possession of the National Studebaker Family Association.

There is no known records of Studebaker indenture. On Dec 7,1737, only three months after their arrival in America, Clement and Peter continued a record of their presence by seeking authority to survey for themselves 400 acres, or 200 each, in what is now Berks County. This is about thirty miles northeast of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, then the only inland town in America. We may infer from this that their passage was paid before leaving Europe and that they did not serve a period of indenture in America. The Pennsylvania of that day moved rapidly to the north and to the west, each bulge following one of the famous, or more properly, infamous, "walking purchases". We can assume that the letter written by Peter and Clement in 1737 to relatives in Europe was written from the Berk County location. Thereafter, the brothers dissapeared from public records, abandoning the Berk County tract. Their motivation is hidden in the dust of time. In those times a crude road meandered southwest from Lancaster, Pennsylvania to the Potomic River. Peter and Clement with their families, now thirty miles, separated, are located along that route. When the survey was made it was disocvered that Peter had gone too far,and literally was in Maryland. Henrich, the third adult male in the Studebaker party aboard the Harle, moved even farther inland about this same time, coming ultimately to the horrible end of being massacred by the indians. Clement is fixed in York County, Pennsylvania in January 1749. On that occasion he "took warrent" for a tract described as 179 acres and 159 perches extending from Berwick into Paradise Township. A perch, Webster informs us is one square rod. The survivng public record shows that Clement was appointed township overseer of the poor on 26 Mar 1750. His will, done in German, was drawn up on 15 Jan 1762, possibly on on his deathbed. That will, with other papers, was filed 1 May of the same year, when Clement was dead. Of interest is the fact that David, eldest son and, was given the family wagon. This is the first r eference to such a vehicle, and we can assume it was built at home as most things were. Wagons of similar design were built by German settlers along the Conestoga Creek and from that they acquired an enduring name. Clement's bequest included the stay and breast chains used with the wagon, and these too, likely would have been made at home. Clearly Clement was knowledgeable about ironwork. At his death, Clement owned some two hundred acres of land, had personal property in the value of 220 pounds, English money, and debt which, when paid list the heirs a cash balance of just over 56 pounds. David later took the land at a court-set price of 260 pounds. In this final destribution, the younger children received 22 pounds, 2 shillings and 6 pence each. These perhaps exteneous details indicate that this immigrant ancester died as a man of means according to the usual standards of the time; "The Studebaker Family in America", The Branch of Clement Studebaker by Alvin Girard Faust, pg 388 (Records show that the Studebakers lived in the area around Hagen in what is now Germany prior to their immigration to America. They were artisans in the cutlery trade moved by conditions of the time to seek new opportunities abroad. The concept of freedom seemed uppermost in their minds, choice in religion, occupation, self-realization and personal dignity. They appreciated both the concept of "free land" and "land of the free". Another locale seemed essential to the Studebaker purpose. Clement, we believe, was an alert, civic-minded citizen. He is shown as "overseer of the poor" in the earliest American records. He wrote with a steady hand and signed legibly the ship list, his will, and a letter back home in 1737. WILL Clement's will is brief but revealing. As he saw the end approaching, his concern was for the welfare of wife and family. Surely it is significant that the "Plantaion Wagon" and what belongs to it should go to "David, the eldest son and heir-at-law." No other children are mentioned by name, but the records of the Orphans Court for York Co supplies these facts. "David Studebaker, eldest sons and Heir-at-law of Clement Studebaker, testified that said Clement Studebaker died, seized and possessed of two certain messuages and a Tract of Land containing 200 acres situated in Berwick and Paradise Twp, York Co, PA, having made no dispotition of the Premises by his last will, leaving widow Anna Catharine Studebaker and lawful issue, eight children, viz: the Petitioner, the eldest, Peter, Clement, Catharine, Mary, Christine, Hannah and Elizabeth, and requested an equitable division of the same, with a double portion for the eldest son, by sheriff or other proper persons. 25 Nov 1767. Came into court, Anna Catharine Studebaker, and prayed the court to appoint a guardian for Christine Studebaker, Hannah Studebaker, Clement Studebaker, and Elizabeth Studebaker,, her minor children, all under 14 years. This considered by the Court and ordered that Andrew Trimmer be and is hereby appointed guardian over Persons of the said Minors. 28 Mar 1767. The Widow petitioner setting for the ages of the children as follows: Peter, Catherine, Mary, over 14 years old; Christine, Hanna, Clement and Elizabeth, under 14 years old." (Orphans Court Records, Vol B, pg 149) See father for further background in Germany;
Clement and Anna, with his brothers and their families arrived in Phil., Pa. on Sept. 1, 1736, on the ship "Harle". He was 36 and Anna was 28, no children listed. Records state that Studebakers lived in area around Hagen in what is now Germany prior to immigration. (Other sources say families emigrated from Solingen, Germany) Artisans in the cutlery trade, conditions led them to seek new opportunities abroad. Clement was an alert, civic-minded citizen. Early American records show him as "overseer of the poor". He wrote with a steady hand and signed legibly the ship list, his will, and a letter back home in 1737.
