Message Board Post:
I also ran into many Closes from England. My sister doing research discovered that our family goes back to Melichor Kloss through son Ernest. I do not know when the name was changed to Cloes but do have a copy of a petition for Revolution Pension Benefits filed I believe in 1838 and it was Close by that time. At some point between the late 1770's and early 1800 they moved to the Somerset County Bedord County area of Western Pennsylvania where they remained, primarily in the Hyndman area. I would love to hear any additional information anyone has
