NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

Reuben Franklin Klein is not in my direct ancestry. He is 3 steps removed in the following ways:

Great-nephew of John Klein & grandson of Johan Jacob Kline (1796)
Great-grandson of Johan Jacob Klein(1776) and Elizabetha Vogele

Johan Jacob Kline(1796) of Lehigh County PA migrated west to Beaver Twp., Clarion Co. PA. There his son Franklin Kline was born, and in 1872 a grandson Reuben Franklin Kline.
