Very interesting... my name is Daryl Close and my family stayed in Pennsylvania. Sounds like you and I are related! I am also descended from Peter and Catherine Livingston Close from Mifflin Co., PA. They were my 4th Great grandparents. My grandfather grew up in Mifflin Co. but moved to Pittsburgh when he got married where my father grew up. I still live in the Pittsburgh area.
There is a very big Close presence in PA but many have moved away. I don't know of any connection to Leonard Kloss in my family though. There is a Close DNA project underway where some of my Close family members have been tested and identified.
How are you descended from Peter?? My went Peter, Peter, William Thomas, John William, and John Thomas Close was my grandfather.
If you would be interested in contacting me you can reach me at dlclose(a)comcast.net.
Daryl

Dear Cindy,
We are third cousins, once removed on the Agnes Howland Line. If you do not have it already, I can provide documentation that will take you back to the Mayflower, but not on the direct Howland line as the Howlands are from Henry Howland of Duxbury rather than John Howland who was on the boat. You are a descendant of John Alden, Richard Warren and William Mullins.

The best evidence available, (Federal Census data) suggest that Everett Reynolds Close was only married once to Jane Smith.

Cindy, I sure hope that you are still there and will respond to my email. I have not been active with genealogical research for several years and missed your response to my query. I can be reached @ Lisarog @ pacbell . net.
Is David Close part of your family?

I am researching his family. He is a descendant of Odel Close who served in the American Revolution. They had three children, Ralph Tompkins Close b. 1871 who became a mechanical engineer and lived in West Virginia (1900), Westwood, Bergen Co, NJ in 1920; and Narberth, Motgomery County, PA in 1930: Everett R. Close b. 1879 married twice and had 4 children; and John Lewis Close, b. 1882.
