"It is believed by some that the Jacob Klinger who served in the 172nd Pennsylvania Infantry in the Civil War was born about 1843 in Schuylkill County to Johann Philip Klinger (1792-1857) and his second wife Catherine (Yeager) Klinger (1800-1865)."

"In 1870, “Jacob E. Clinger”, age 28, was living in Hubley Township, Schuylkill County, and working as a miller.  In his household were his wife “Sarah A. Clinger” and children “Lavilla Clinger,” [supposed to be Savilla Klinger] age 5; Abraham Clinger, age 3; and Harry Clinger, age 9/12."

"In 1880, Jacob Klinger, age 35, was living in Porter Township, Schuylkill County, and working as a laborer.  In his household were his wife Sarah A. Klinger, and children Sevilla Klinger, age 16; Abraham Klinger, age 14; Harvey Klinger, age 10; Flora A. Klinger, age 6; Ervin Klinger, age 3; and “Hy F. Klinger,” age 8 months [this youngest son is possibly Harry or Henry]."

"Jacob Klinger was born on 3 April 1843 in Lower Mahantongo Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.  During the Civil War, he served in the 172nd Pennsylvania Infantry, Company D, as a Private, from 27 October 1862 through 1 August 1863.  Jacob Klinger died in early 1899. He had been collecting a pension, which, after his death, Sarah applied for and was receiving at the time of her murder.  The Pension Index Card from Ancestry.com is shown above."
