This completes the information from the book, "Gennans to America." I only checked the name Klock. There were severai other names like Klocke, Klockert, Klockin, Klockinburg, etc. It was common for people to change the spelling of their last name and a family with the name of Klocke or Klockin, or even Klockinhouseski, may now spell their name "Klock."
