General Notes: Husband - William Klingensmith


The members of this family were probably armorers in ancient days, as the meaning of the name would indicate-Klingen, meaning blades.

He was born in Germany, and emigrated to America in the year 1823. He settled at Sharon, Pennsylvania, where he was a farmer and cattle dealer. Later he removed to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, where he followed the same occupations. At the expiration of two years he moved back to Mercer County, and there was an active member of the Baptist church. His political affiliation was with the Republican party.
