Both sons of this David Kline settled in Clarion County, and the daughter Rebecca is of the correct generation to be the Rebecca Kline visiting in the home of John and Anna Kline when the 1860 census was enumerated.  Her father David was born in 1808; John Klein was born in 1801.  Rebecca and Henry Kline would have been close in age.  If she is indeed a descendant of Philip Wendel Klein it would cement the relationship, though distant, of these two Klein/Kline families.

1 1810 United States Federal Census, Macungie Twp., Northampton Co., PA, pg. 3. Family of Jacob Kline: 2 males <10, 2 males 10-15, 1 male 16-25, 1 male 26-44, 4 females <10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 16-25. Fits for Johan Jacob Klein and his children, Elizabetha Vogele died in February, before the census.

2 1820 United States Federal Census. Macungie Twp, Lehigh Co, PA, page 8. Jacob Klein: 5 males 16-25, 1 male 26-44, 1male >44, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 16-25, 1 female >44. Therese ages are a close match for the family of Johan Jacob Klein. There is one too many male children and two missing females, but these differences can be explained readily. The oldest woman is a problem since Elizabetha Vogele died in 1810.

13 Genealogical and Personal History of the Allegheny Valley, Pennsylvania by John Jorday, Leurs Historical Publ. Co. 1913, NY. 3 Vols. Pg. 634 biography of ____Kline, a native of Clarion County, Pa.; wife not named; three children: 1.) Aaron (biography included); 2.) David; 3.) Rebecca Ann, married a Mr. Henry and went to Missouri. Mr Kline died prior to 1859; his widow married a Mr. Stauffer of Porter Twp. and had 2 children: John, married a Miss Wiant; Levi married a Miss Wike and living on the old Stauffer homestead in Porter Twp.
Ed. Forwarded by Kerry Kline (deceased). In the margin has been written: "The name was David Kline, not a native of Clarion Co., b. 1808 d. 14 Sept 1833 Salem,in Northampton Co.; was a son of John Jacob Klein b. 1781; a grandson of Peter Klein b. 27 April 1741; a great-grandson of Philip Wendel Kline.
See Conjecture section below; we believe daughter Rebecca Ann visited in the home of our John Klein; if so this solidifies the connection between our immigrant Johannes Klein and Philip Wendel Klein arriving on ship Phoenix, 1744.


This biography continues with biographies of Aaron, son of (David) Kline, and David Ursines, son of Aaron & Elizabeth Wiant Kline. A second biography of David U. Kline is found in "Commemorative and Biographical Record of Central Penna., by J. H. Beers & Co, 1898 Chicago.

Conjecture

  • [12]DAVID KLEIN FAMILY - DESCENDANTS OF PHILIP WENDEL KLEIN

David Kline, a great-grandson of Philip Wendel Klein eventually settled in Clarion County, as did the descendants of our Johannes Klein. It appears possible that Rebecca Ann Kline, a daughter of this David Kline, may have visited in the home of John Klein in 1860. (See 1860 census image, above). Three children of David Kline also appear living together in the 1850 census of Porter Twp., Clarion Col PA. Aaron Cline, age 19, Farmer; David age 17; Rebecca age 18, all born in PA. (See census image, page of Abram Howe).
This presence in Clarion County of descendants of Philip Wendel Klein strengthens our belief that Johannes Klein and Philip Wendel Klein on the ship "Phoenix" were related, and that Johannes Klein from the "Phoenix" was the same person as Johannes Klein, father of our Johannes Peter Klein of Lehigh County. It would indicate that these two families kept in touch over the years, and co-migrated to western PA.
