JOHAN ISAAC KLEIN (January 12, 1688 - November 26, 1774)was one of 10 German land purchasers of the earliest known settlement in Montgomery Co - that of Sulford Township. On September 10, 1717 a warrant was granted to David Powel of Philadelphia, for 3000 acres of land, located between the "Skepeck" and a branch of the "Parkyooman". ISAAC bought 250 acres from Powel's tract. ISAAC was also a signer of the "PETITION OF INHABITANTS OF COLEBROOKDALE, 1728: Petitioning May 10, 1728 for relief of suffering at hands of the "Ingians" at Falkners Swamp, near "Coshahopin".
