Derick, Jerry, and Debra (as well as Kathy Sullivan and Robert Carpenter) ?- ? This is a scholarly report, and much appreciated; however, there is not contained here ... that I could see ... any man named Thomas Cline, born about 1800 in Pennsylvania, the son of Henry Cline, born in Germany.? I am sure that I've read some other report that contains that information (but I don't have it at hand.)? The only Thomas Cline I see?in the attached report was born in 1825 and migrated to Tennessee.? Thus he cannot be the Thomas Cline who married in 1825 in Lincoln County and removed, soon afterward, to Bond County, Illinois with his wife, Sarah. Special note to Derick:?I recall that, a few years ago when I was researching this branch of Clines, that you, too, knew of other Lincoln County families who had removed to Bond County, Illinois during this same time period.? At the time you and I were corresponding on this subject, I called and spoke with a man named Kevin John Kaegy, head of the Bond County Historical Society, who had managed to secure a copy of the out-of-print book by Perrin (where the erroneous information about Nathaniel Mitchum had been published in 1882.)? Kevin now has published a book, "Greenville and Bond County (IL) (Images of America)", which, I believe contains, among other pictures,?a photograph of the gravemarker of an American Revolutionary War soldier named Lynn (which I sent to Jerry 'way back then, but who was not believed to be within Jerry Lynn's ancestry.)? At any rate, Kevin John Kaegy cherished his copy of Perrin's work even though he recognized its flaws. Perhaps it was in Perrin's book that I read the excerpts about Henry Cline (Heinrich Klein), born in Germany and father of Thomas Cline, b. abt. 1800 in Pennsylvania who, in 1825, was married in Lincoln County, North Carolina.? If that's the source of what I'm remembering, it was probably submitted by this same Thomas Knight Cline and it, too, could very well be just as inaccurate as the statements he made about Nathaniel Mitchum.? In Perrin's book of 1882, there were profiles of many of the Lincoln County families who removed to Bond County, Illinois and surrounding counties, such as Montgomery County.? I recall one of those families, specifically, as having the surname of "Glenn", and I corresponded with, also, a few?Glenn descendants living then in Illinois (three or four years ago.)? Because one of my computers crashed and another was destroyed by lightning, I do not now have their addresses. Debra:? I believe you have some means to get, online, excerpts from Perrin's book.? Please try to find the information in that book as regards the Cline family that left Lincoln County, North Carolina and re-settled in Bond County, Illinois.?I know I am not hallucinating!? Google has recently digitalized many old books.? I don't know if Perrin's 1882 book is one of them.? With my "Charlie Brown luck", it won't be digitalized, so I will depend on you to get it from whatever means I know you have.? Thanks.
