ELIAS B. BAUMANN , the twelfth child of Reverend Joseph, born in Berks County, Pa. on May 4th 1809. In 1816 he came to Canada with his parents and spent his boyhood days on his father’s farm near Blair. In 1829 he married Maria (Polly) Clemens, a daughter of Jacob and Susannah (Dierstien) Clemens. Soon after the marriage they moved to a farm near Breslau where they lived until 1863, when they sold the farm and moved to Kent County, Michigan, where he died on August 21sr 1875 at the age of sixty-six years, his wife surviving him by ten years. They had fourteen children, eight sons and six daughters whose names were Joseph, Jacob, Susannah, Wendel, Aaron, Maria, Leah, Isaac, Owen, Elias, Salome, Catherine, Nancy and Simon.
