| 9 | 1887 History of Clarion County PA by Davis, p. xxx. 'Kline, Reuben, Kossuth p.o., Ashland, a merchant and farmer of Kossuth, PA., was born in Lehigh county, Pa., on December 7, 1828, and was a son of John and Anna (Fanstermacher) Kline, who settled in Clarion county, Pa., in 1837, and in Ashland, Pa., in 1847, and cleared and improved the farm which is now owned and occupied by the late Henry Kline. They had a family if eleven chldren - Henry, Reuben, Jacob, Maria, Catherine, Eliza, Susan, James, Elizabeth, Sarah and William. Reuben Kline settled in Ashland, Pa., in 1847, and was married twice. His first wife was Ann E., a daughter of John and Mary (McCleef) Measley, of Ashland, Pa. They had a family of seven children - John M., George W., Harriet L., Maggie A., Andrew C., Reuben F., and Susan L. His second wife was Harriet, a daughter of John and Mary (Kribbs) Weaver, of Ashland, Pa. They have had a family of chldren. Mr. Kline has served as constable of Ashland, Pa. for seven years, was justice of the peace for five years, and has been engaged in the mercantile business for ten years." | |

Pg. 634 biography of ____Kline a native of Clarion County, Pa.; wife not named; 3 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 Poerter Twp. and had 2 children: John, marrieda Miss Wiant; Levi married a Miss Wike and living on the old Stauffer homestead in Perter 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. 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.

Source Notes
Conjecture
- 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 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.
