In that he was not yet married, he is not likely to be on the 1820 census as head of household, and we know he was in Bond County, Illinois by 1830.? Do you?find any men on 1820 Lincoln?census named Henry Cline in whose household there is a male of the age of about 20 years?? (Sometimes, Kline or Klein).? ? I know I didn't dream all this, but I don't now have any hard copy or computerized records dealing with the research done years ago in this regard.?? Alta In 1800 Henry Cline had four sons under 10 and two daughters 10-16. In 1820 he had one son and no daughters. This son was Jacob who died in 1823 and is buried in the Old White Church Cemetery. John and Susannah Cline Butts and son John T lived close to him. in the 1820 LC Census there were possibly two other Henry Clines(one listed as H Cline) but with sons under 10. With two of the five sons listed in the 1810 LC Census for Henry Cline of Lincolnton accounted for in 1820 there is a possibility that a son named Thomas Cline migrated from Lincoln County before 1820. Is there a document existing that has Thomas Cline as the son of Henry Cline from Germany? There is also the possibility that other Henry Clines existed from the five sons of the progenitor Sebastian Cline and did not live in Lincoln County. I think that some of the oldest sons of Sebastian were born in Germany. There were 18 Cline families listed in the 1820 LC Census. There were 8 in 1800. Another's research list the five sons for Henry and Elizabeth Carpenter Cline as Henry, William, John T, Jacob, and Charles and one daughter Sarah who married John Rudisill.
