When Anne Mary Reif Clemens was born in 1711 [4][5] in Lower Salford, Pennsylvania, her father, Gerhart, was 31, and her mother, Anneli, was 31. She married Hans "John" Ulrich Burgy in 1726 [2][3]. They had 11 children in 23 years. She died in May 1789 [4][5][6] in her hometown, having lived a long life of 78 years, and was buried in Harleysville [4][5], Pennsylvania.
Heckler, in his History of Lower Salford township, says that “there is some reason to believe that she was a daughter of Gerhart Clemens,” but the reason for this has not been discovered. The records of the Clemens family do not support this theory.
Anne Mary was born in 1709. She passed away in 1789.
