Research Notes:
Deaths of two widows of Michael Kleinfelter occurred in 1675 and children of Michael Kleinfelter were married in 1695, while he was apparently alive. There may be one or more generations of men named Michael Kleinfeller missing from our family record. The generations shown here agree with reports from several other researchers, but we consider them to be speculative.
1675 Anna Margretha, daughter of Michael Kleinfeller, and Michael Kleinfeller were sponsors at two different baptisms.
1675 Michael Kleinfeller may have been a sponsor at a baptism. "Der 17 May Veltin Diderich, ein junger sohn Johan tft werden (?) ist Michael Kleinfeller of Flörsbach gefatter gebohrn" at the church at Lohrhaupten-Gelnhausen, Kassel, Germany. [1]
1675 Anna Margretha, daughter of Michael Kleinfelter, was named, on August 5 at the church at Lohrhaupten-Gelnhausen, Kassel, Germany. Anna may have been a sponsor at a baptism, in which case she may have been a sister of this Michael. "Der 5 August ist Michael ?erning den jungin tochterlein getauft (?) und ist Anna Margaretha, Michael Kleinfellers tochter gevattern gebohrn" [2]

1695 Three children of Michael Kleinfelter were married within 2 days. Two of them married children of Michael Lindner of OberSinn. The records do not suggest that Mihael Kleinfelter was deceased. [11]:

Research Notes:
Other researchers name Elizabeth Freund as the wife of Michael Kleinfelter. We seek documentation for this marriage.
We show Hans Jorg Kleinfelter, born about 1673, as a son of this couple based on his marriage record, which names him as a son of Michael Kleinfelter and the 1702 baptismal record of a son, which names Hans Jorg as a brother of Peter Kleinfeller. The parish record begins about 1675, so there is no documentation about the birth of Hans Jorg.
This wife and these children were perhaps born too late to be the family of this Michael:
1730 Anna Magdalena, wife of Michael Kleinfeller, died at age 64 and was buried on February 6. [19]
born c 1666. Did Michael (1637) remarry? Perhaps 1685 death was for his father.1682 Anna Margretha, daughter of Michael Kleinfelter, married Johannes Emmerich, perhaps, on January 22 at the church at Lohrhaupten-Gelnhausen, Kassel, Germany. [20]
