Joseph Josiah Klein

NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR Joseph J. Kline is not in my direct ancestry. He is 2 steps removed in the following ways: Son of Charles Klein; grandson of Philip Klein and Esther Fogele. Great-grandson of Johan Jacob Klein and Elizabetha Vogele

Charles Klein was born in Lehigh County , and was baptized at the Zion's Lutheran Church in Lower Macungie Twp. In about 1838-40, his parents and the families of two uncles, John Klein and Johan Jacob Kline, migrated westward to Clarion Co., PA. Here, away from the close German-speaking community, it is likely that the children of these families may have begun for the first time to speak English as their primary language.
Joseph Josiah Kline was born after the move to Richland Township, Venango Co. (now Clarion Co.) PA.
