Hi - 

Samuel Ulmer is my great great great grandfather born in about 1803 and died in 1849 in Liverpool Township, Ohio.  
I believe he immigrated from Wurttemberg, Germany to Canada about 1830, & possibly married a Mary Walt.
In 1831, he had a son Joseph Gottlieb Ulmer (possibly born in Canada) before moving to Medina County, 
Ohio where eventually the family settled & bought a farm in Brunswick, Ohio (next to Liverpool Township).  
Sometime in the late 1840's, however, Sam's wife died and then he died in 1849. 
Interestingly, a David Keller is listed as a witness on Sam Ulmer's court documents and I 
have wondered if he was a relative of the family.  
By your records, there was a David Keller who was a grandson of Anna Margarete Ulmer and Johann
Heinrich Leibbrandt and son of Christine Leibbrand and Johnan Jacob Keller who is buried in Liverpool Township, Ohio.  
In fact, I believe I have seen the Keller family tombstone in the cemetery behind the Zion Lutheran Church
in Abbeyville, Ohio.  
Are we related?  
I have always wondered why Samuel Ulmer migrated to Medina County in the 1830's, 
and his connection to the Keller family could be the reason. 
Is there a connection between my Ulmer family and Anna Margarete Ulmer?  
I look forward to hearing from you.  

 best,
