  Ronlyn - www.ancestry.com/trees/awt/main.aspx: born: 17 Jan 1746/1747 With the French and Indian War over in 1763 and John Bernhardt Clever (Kleber) now sixteen years of age was old enough to work, if hehadn't before. Many of the Germans left the area and headed west towardCumberland Valley. The Germans were offered land if they would relocateto the Valley. Penn had purchased the land years before in an effort tokeep Maryland from laying claim and to keep faith with the Indians thatthey would have their own land. The Scots-Irish were the maininhabitants of the Valley and their restless nature was not good for theland. The Germans were very good judges of the land and they worked hardto keep it a practicing economy. After the war the people returned totheir land and the fields were soon producing and industry was movingin. It was probably what brought John Bernhardt to Cumberland County.He probably worked hard and finally fulfilled his ancestors dream ofliving a good and quiet life. By 1770 the people were protesting payingtaxes to the mother country of Great Britain. Once again the country wasinvaded, this time by the British. In 1775 the American RevolutionaryWar against the British began and did not end until 1783. He was aprivate in the 4th Co., 3rd. Battalion of Cumberland, Co. H. At the age of twenty eight John Bernhardt (Barney) Clever marriedMargaret Elizabeth Bollinger who was born in Cumberland County thedaughter of Johann Rudolf Bollinger and Margaretha Dorr of CumberlandCounty. Johann Bollinger was the son of Christian Bollinger and SusannaBechler of German descent. Barney and his wife had twelve children andhad made a good living for their family. He had a 240 acre farm that henamed "Mansion Farm" also called "Mansion Estate", that was deeded to himin 1788 by the agents of Penn and was a successful man in his own right.With his hard work and his ancestors dreams finally realized, Barneymust have felt very clever indeed. The 1810 Federal Census shows BarneyClever in South Hampton Twn. of Cumberland County with 4 males under 10,3 males 16-25, 1 male 26-45 and 1 male over 45 (Barney). There were 2females under 10 and 4 females between 10-15 and a female over 45(Margaret). Some of the younger children were more likely grandchildrenliving with them. Margaret Elizabeth died in the prime of her lifesometime before 1816. John Bernhardt died June 28, 1816 at the age ofseventy, rich from experiences.
