LaVerne--
Baron Heinrich von Ulm is also my ancestor through Adam Ulmer. No one seems to have anything really solid about Heinrich but my family and many other families all seem to have a similar story passed down, that he changed his name from von Ulm to Ulmer when he and his sons (and daughter) arrived in South Carolina. I have copies of handwritten history authored by Issac Barton Umer II in 1874 that belongs to my Ulmer family. In my family, we have a wild oral story that suggests that von Ulm was not his real name nor was Ulmer. The story makes him a descendent of a Prussian but no proof exists and no other name since my father and his father didn't talk much about ancestors. I can give you general information on Ulmers descended from Heinrich.
