General Notes: Husband - John Kline

---

He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and served under the command of Gen. Washington at Valley Forge. After a season of active service and exposure he became seriously ill. On his recovery he was transferred to the commissary department and given charge of the foraging parties or troops who collected supplies for the army. After the close of the Revolutionary war he married and settled on a farm (inherited by his father) near Millersburg, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. He remained on a farm for a number of years. Because of the part he took in the Revolutionary war the tories in that neighborhood persecuted him by destroying his fences, crops, property, etc. He became alarmed as to the safety of himself and family, so much so that his wife prevailed upon him to rent the farm and remove to Kentucky. They left the farm in charge of a tenant and started on their western journey, crossing the Allegheny mountains on pack-horses, intending to locate in Kentucky. On the way to Fort Pitt they came to a place where the roads forked, near where the town of Grapeville would stand. They took the road that seemed the most traveled and it led them to the Manor settlement instead of Fort Pitt. After going some distance they halted at a spring for rest and to water their horses. Upon inquiry of a woman making hay in a meadow close by the road, they were informed of not being on the right road and also that "a terrible Indian outbreak" had just occurred. They believed the story of cruelty and murder committed on the frontier by the Indians as related by the woman. John Kline was prevailed upon by his wife not to go any farther. The good people of the settlement extended to them their hospitality. He settled in a garden spot of Westmoreland County, on the "Painter Improvement," sold his horses and pursued his trade, that of a weaver. He founded a family noted for its industry, intelligence and integrity. They continued to live in that neighborhood for years. He was, besides a weaver, etc., a conveyancer and the business of conveyancing occasioned him several trips to Philadelphia for the purpose of examining titles, and on one of his trips to that city, it is supposed, he mysteriously disappeared and was never heard of by his wife and family. His family settled in the neighborhood of Adamsburg, Westmoreland County. [HBCWC 1890, 112]
