===Source notes===
*C. R. Roberts in ''History of Lehigh County PA, 1914'' says Charles Kline was born in 1811. His gravestone at Ziegle church, Weisenberg Twp. says he was born 14, Oct. 1810.
*Although other sources say Charles Klein had 2 wives, the family plot has 3 stones besides his. The birth dates on the three women's stones (1814, 1820, 1822) preclude the possibility that one were a child's stone. Facing the row, Charles' stone is on the left. Next, Levina Unger's stone is obvious from the dates which match those in other sources, even though her first name is now illegible. Her stone also says "geborne Unger". The third stone, transcribed before having read the Klein Family Register from ''Genealogies of Pennsylvania Families'', was thought to say "Selena" Klein ____von Charles Klein. The first name is difficult to read, and could possibly say "Helena". The first name on the fourth stone was illegible, but after the dates it was transcribed as Tochter von Christian & (Seluna?). This is very possibly Christian and Susanna (Unger). If so, either the 4th stone belongs to Helena Unger and the 3rd to "Selena"; or the third stone is Helena Unger and the 4th stone is yet another Unger sister. The three names, Levina, Helena, and Selena, have the sound of possibly all being sisters. Perhaps the fourth stone is an Unger sister, but not a wife of Charles Klein.
