Read More	Henry's last will and Testament was dated 15 December 1804 in which he wrote he was "...in perfect health and of perfect mind and memory..." -- six months later he was dead, the will probate dated 7 June 1805. It is unknown how Henry died but his father Christof (see below) also died at a young age. Johann Henrich Kleimenhagen (Henry Climenhagen) was a native of Germany and is believed to have hailed from Ober-Waroldern, a small village in Waldeck. Contrary to many Climenhag* genealogy sources the identity of the original Climenhag* ancestor is not clear cut as there were three Johann Henrich Kleimenhagen's that hailed from Ober-Waroldern, Waldeck, Germany. Based on several years of research JOHANN HENRICH WILHELM KLEIMENHAGEN born 14 Dec 1758 is the most probable candidate. He was the son of JOHANN CHRISTOF KLEIMENHAGEN and ANNA MARIA GÖEL—he came to America in April of 1789 and lived in Martic Township in Lancaster, PA with a landowner named Abraham Keagy. In order to pay for his passage to America he most likely sold himself as a ‘redemptioner' or indentured servant for a fixed term (3 years based on family folklore). Some of Abraham Keagy's neighbours (Beam, Byers, Hershey, Shoup) later immigrated to Black Creek in Willoughby Township, Upper Canada applying for land grants in the mid 1790s—around the same time Henry Climenhagen, his wife and two children arrived. Henry's name appears on several of their wills. Henry had an older brother named JOHANN HENRICH KLEIMENHAGEN born 18 Aug 1755 that travelled to America in 1776 as a Hessian Mercenary. There are a number of theories as to the fate of this man after he deserted the 3rd Waldeck Regiment in April of 1777, but it has proven a challenge to link this Henrich as the Climenhag* ancestor. The third JOHANN HENRICH KLEIMENHAGEN was born 3 Aug 1763 at Höringhausen, Waldeck, Germany but lived in Ober-Waroldern from a young age. He is a first cousin to the two Henrich's mentioned above. He was the son of JOHANN BERNHARD KLEIMENHAGEN (younger brother of Christof) and CATHARINE ELISABETH WEISHAUPT. He is ruled out as the Climenhag* ancestor as he was married to MARIA CATHARINA FIGGE, had eight children by that union and died 9 Jan 1823 at Berndorf, Waldeck, Germany. --James Climenhage In his will (and several other documents) Henry spells his surname [Anglicized] as Climenhagen.
