Source Notes

• Records of Zion's Lutheran Church, baptism of the children of Johannes Klein & wife Catharine, would suggest that he went by the name "Johannes" or "John". The will of Anna Catharine Klein, written in English, names her late husband as John Peter Klein. This will is the only source of the middle name Peter. Never-the-less it is felt that this John Peter & Anna Catharine Klein are the same couple as the Johannes and Catherine Klein of the church records. Not only do the children's and grandchildren's name match, but the daughter Anna Elisabeth and husband Frances Warmkassel, mentioned in the will, are also in the church records as baptismal sponsors in 1796 for Johann J. Klein (son of Anna Elisabeth's brother Jacob Klein, and grandson of Johannes/John Peter Klein).

* John Heinly being a signatory of the Letters of Administration of Johannes Klein, and being married to Helena Klein, Helena Klein has provisionally been listed as a child of Johannes Klein.
