Message Board Post:
I have been researching the Cline line through my ancestor John C. Cline, the brother of
Catherine Ann (Caty Ann) Cline who married Michael Gates. John C Cline and Catherine and
several siblings were residents in Sumner County, Tennessee/Allen County, Kentucky from
about 1810 through the late 1830s. (Catherine married Michael Gates in Sumner on 28 May
1830.) John C. Cline and three younger brothers, William C, George W, and Samuel M, moved
to Lawrence County, Missouri about 1840, although George W may have accompanied Catherine
Ann and her husband, Michael Gates, to Indiana/Illinois first. When he moved, John C was
married to a Susan (prob. Sanders) who reportedly died about 1852. Sometime between that
date and 1860, John C married Susannah Gates, Michael Gates sister, who had been living
with her parents JP and Elizabeth in Wayne County Illinois in 1850 (next to Michael Gates
and Catherine.) In the 1860 Lawrence County census, Elizabeth (then 76) was living with
John C Clin!
e and family. I have no death records on any of this group except John C Cline, but one
can only surmise that JP Gates died before 1860 and that his widow came to live with her
daughter in the John C Cline household. I hope that this is of some help in your searches.
