Notes for BARVALIS ELIZABETH KLOCK: Also known as Barbara. Birth: Klock/Clock Genealogy Marriage: Old Palatine Church Pamphlet; Page 31, Record gives date of marriage as Feb. 29, 1718. 1718 was not a leap year so I used Feb. 28, 1717/18 as date of marriage. My computer will not let me put 1718. It keeps putting 1717/18 Death: Fort Plain Reformed Church Record, Tombstone Record, Vol. 1 page 84. Klock/Clock Genealogy, Fort Klock Web Page. SOK Genealogy: Barvalis Klock married Feb. 29, 1718. Christian Nellis, born 1697, died 1771, who probably was a son of Johan George Nellis, or Johan William, who came with the Palatines in 1710­­14. Christian is buried in the Old Klock cemetery east of St. Johnsville, N.Y. , and it is likely that Barvalis is buried there, also, although the stone next to that of Christian's bears no name of date. SOK lists the following children, Hendrick, Elizabeth, Catherine, Robert, Dewell, Margaret, Hans, Christian, Anna, and Adam.
