My mother, Ruth Klute Cable and her Klute family were from western NY, outside Buffalo and some of the family moved on to MI (changed spelling to Kludy), OH and MO. Our original immigrant was Johann Klute.His wife Catharine Kohlmann, was from Haren, Germany and we assume Johann was from the same area although we have not yet determined that. Johann and Catharine immigrated around 1845 or possibly before that and were born in Germany around 1829.My mother's cousin remembers visiting Klutes and Kohlmans in New Knoxville, OH in 1941 for someone's 50th wedding anniversary. She remembers a Klute relative named Ruth Hall from Ohio. Current family has lost track of them and I would love to find them. There is an Adam Clute's gravestone in the Williamsville, NY cemetery where most of my Klute family is buried.I don't know who he was but suspect he could have been Johann's father.He was born in 1790. I believe Johann had a brother, Gerhardt Klute.
