1	1830 United States Federal Census, Macungie Twp, Lehigh Co, PA, page 3. Family headed by Philip Kline: 2 males <5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 40-50, 1 female <5, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 40-50. Johanes and Charles correspond to the two boys <5, but the other children do not match the list from the 1840 census and church records. Also, the older female is too old and the 15-20 too young to be Esther. It is possible she was right around 20 here and just over 30 in 1840. The older female may be a sister or sister-in-law and that could also account for the extra children.
