She and her husband were the parents of, among other children, Johann Peter Klopp, Jr.
Along with her husband, Johann Peter Klopp, Sr., she was a member of the Reformed German Church in the Tulpehocken Settlement in Pennsylvania in 1735. Later, he, with Rev. Peter Miller, Gottfried Fidler, Conrad Weiser, and others, joined a church at Ephrata in Lancaster County, Pa. At the home of Mr. Fidler, who had first taken up land in Tulpehocken township, burned the Psalms, catechism, and other good books. This occurred before the church of the Tulpehocken Brethren (German Seventh Day Baptists) was finished. Conrad Weiser, Hans Michael Miller, Johann Peter Klopp, Godfried Fidler, and several single men and women went to the settlement in Ephrata now known as the Ephrata Cloister. Of these, Weiser, Miller, and Klopp later withdrew from the Ephrata settlement, but not Johann Peter Klopp, Sr.'s daughter remained. Her monastic name was "Thekla" and is so listed on the roster of the Sisterhood. She died Oct. 6, 1748, probably at Ephrata. Mrs. Klopp died in about 1766 and there is a good chance that she is buried at Ephrata Cloister alongside her husband.
