In 1830 in Mahoning Twp., the most likely origin of your Nathan, there are; Daniel Klotz, with 1 male under 10, Christian, but he had no son named Nathan, his boys were Robert, Joseph and Ammon, and Mary Klotz with 2 males under 10. Perhaps the Ben Salem E. Penn church records could help, I know St. John's Mahoning's records for that period have been missing for years. Judy
