Born in Germany. Her husband John Klingaman (Johannes) owned the Reading ferry, as well as the tavern at Plow (aka Plowville/Ploughville) an early election site, still standing, Robeson Twp. Berks Co. Pa. John Klingaman is buried at Plow Churchyard (Robeson Lutheran), Robeson Twp, Berks Co. Pa. The exact location of his grave is unknown, as the early settlers used the local brownstone for markers, which has eroded, and the inscriptions rendered illegible. Mother of nine: John, Mary Elizabeth O'Neaill, Eve Griffith, George, John Michael, Christianna "Teny" Westley-Given, Elizabeth "Betsy" Quein, Jacob, and Catharine Given. Died at the Quein farm, Honey Brook Township, Chester county, Pennsylvania.

Note: No doubt sister of George Hoffman #38467313, buried at Plow Church cemetery. DNA supports this, as well as the fact that Christena's husband Johannes Klingaman, (viz. "John Clingman") was a witness to George Hoffman's Will.

Gravesite Details

Chester County was English speaking, as opposed to Berks (German) hence the anglicized rendering of the name on the tombstone.
