Dear Daniel,
I have researched your family which is my family also. If you are descended from Andrew Baltus Clymer then we are distant cousins. Andrew Baltus Clymer was the son of John Clymer and John Clymer was the son of Baltus Clymer. The Story is complicated because Baltis Clymer was the son of Casper Kramer. So you ask how did the name change? I am assuming that since Baltis lived in the Colonial city of Philadelphia he ended up using an English sounding name. The only reason we know this is because when Casper Kramer's estate was settled all his children were listed including Baltis going by the name of Clymer! All the other children of Casper Kramer settled in Bucks county and were farmers while Baltis became a Carter in Phila. I would be happy to explain it in greater detail and you can e-mail me privatly and I'll give you my phone number! I also correspond with another long lost cousin who descends from Andrew as well! I have copies of the estate settlement and Baltis's will too.
Joann
