Claus from Germany

I'm a descendent of Paul Claus (1886-1952) and Bertha Schelley. Paul's parents were Johann Klaus (1850-1926) and Caroline Stricker. Johann's parents were Ferdinand Klaus (1813-1892) and Friederike Herbonn. Ferdinand's parents were Johann Klaus (1777-1835) and Maria Demmin. Friederike's parents (Ferdinand's wife) were Mothias Herbonn (1775-1845) and Maria Baitz. The spelling of the name was changed from Klaus to Claus when they migrated from Germany around 1872. They were from Prussia. My branch of the family ended up in Northern Michigan, US. Does any of this look familiar? I have some more information to share and would love to possibly have more in return. Thanks!
Becky Heward
