Notes:

From "Klipper Stipendium [Klipper Exhibition]", author unknown, Schriften des Vereins für Sachsen-Meiningische Geschichte u. Landeskunde [Writings of the Saxe-Meiningen Association of History and Geography], 54. Heft [Issue No. 54] (Hildburghausen, Saxe-Meiningen: F. W. Gadow & Sohn, 1906), pages 74, 80, 94.

Page 74:
Margaretha (cf. Krauß Beitr. I, p. 308 and J. H. Gentzler’s Tab. I, p. 87 u.a.) was the youngest of six children of Conrad "Cuntz" Klipper, "wohl Paul Klippers, B. and Schusters hier Sohn, der 1560 an 1,200 fl. reich war und in Birkenfeld und Häselreith begütert, + vor 1606 (seine Witwe sep. 30. 3. 1614) [probably the son of Paul Klipper, citizen and shoemaker of Hildburghausen, who 1560 was richer by 1,200 florins and owned properties in Birkenfeld and Häselreith, died before 1606 (his widow died 30 March 1614)]". Her birthdate is not known but her two older brothers, Michael and Peter, were born "hierselbst [in this place = Hildburghausen]" in 1558 and 1560, respectively.

It is a very long article, and hard to follow, especially in its Gothic type. So I'll give you a brief guide. It begins with the will of the shoemaker Michael Klipper, written on 15 February 1606, and then lists the descendants of his nephews, who inherited his estate of 500 florins. The first of his heirs was Conrad "Kuntz" Klipper of Hildburghausen. He was the great grandfather of Katharina Hartmann Thomä.

Conrad married Schulmacher, N.N. in UNKNOWN in Hildburghausen, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany. N.N. was born in UNKNOWN in Hildburghausen, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany; died on 30 Mar 1614 in Hildburghausen, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany; was buried after 30 Mar 1614 in Hildburghausen, Hildburghausen, Thüringen, Germany.
