Johann Klein Born: circa 1700 Bliesen, Duchy of Lorraine Died: 21 March 1762 (possibly) Bliesen, Duchy of Lorraine

Johann's parentage is unknown.

Johann married Maria before 1720, probably in Bliesen. The coat of arms of the village is shown here.

Between 1719 and 1732, Johann and Maria had seven children, including Catharina Klein.

Several of their older children were born in Bliesen, so the family lived there during that period. Their sixth child was recorded as having been born in Gronig, so the family may have moved there by 1730.
