Samuel Kline Shimp, Aug 23, 1870 - Nov 24, 1939
M1 Mary (Mollie) Newkirk, Dec 20, 1871 - Feb 28, 1905
M2 Sarah Ashton Shimp, Jan 6, 1886 - Nov 25, 1919
[interesting note: Sarah's maiden name was Shimp but it is thought that she was not of close relation. Eventually I hope to find where her line crosses Samuel Kline's.
UPDATE: I have traced Sarah's line back to where it meets Samuel's. Sarah's line goes back to Philip II (born 1735) who was the brother of Johannes! I believe Johannes and Philip were close as they lived in the same area and were godparents for each others children and grandchildren. I will post all that I have found on Sarah's family soon.]
