Greetings! Some more information has come to light to solve some of the Cline puzzle and I'm passing it along. Thanks to Robert who passed it on to me. Anyone having an interest in this family should conact Robert at [email protected] for more information. When I did "German Speaking People West Of The Catawba River In NC 1750-1800" (which is now back in print) I was unable to solve the mystery of which Cline family that Catherine, Wife of Christopher Sigmon, belonged to or even which Christopher Sigmon was involved. The reason being that her father Martin (and brother of Valentine) had left the area of Lincoln Co and moved to Sumner Co., TN. The problem is solved by Sumner Co., TN DB 12 pgs 350-352 and Lincoln Co., NC Court Sessions of July and Oct 1828: This Indenture made this 6th day of July 1828 between Rachel Cline and Michael Cline and Margaret Cline his wife, John Cline and Catherine Cline his wife, Adam Cline and Sarah Cline his wife, and Christopher Sickman and Catherine his wife, his legal heirs & test relicts of the estate of Martin Cline of Sumner Co. and Commonwealth of TN ........... Note: This deed and attached court records is quite lengthy but sorts the family out quite nicely. Martin Cline was only in Lincoln Co. a short few years before moving to TN. Perhaps Christopher and Catherine's descendants will help Robert with any NC questions he might have. He has a "Round Robin list " going of researchers interested in this line of Clines". Just my good deed for the day! Enjoy! Lorena
