David Kline

NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR David Kline is not in my direct ancestry. He is a member of the Philip Wendel Klein family: Grandson of John Jacob Klein Son of David Klein Philip Wendel Klein immigrated to America in 1744 on the same ship "Phoenix" with our ancestor Johannes Klein, and both settled in what became Lehigh Co. PA. We expect they were either brothers or cousins.Descendants of both migrated west to Clarion Co. PA
