    1. Michael Cline, Clay Twp., d. ca. 1865
    2. I may need some "on the ground" help in Knox Co. My hope is that Michael Cline, b. ca. 1789 in PA, recorded on census for Knox Co. in Clay Twp. in 1850 and 1860, died in the 1860s, and that his estate was probated with a list of heirs. I'm trying to confirm that Samuel Ferrell, newly married and living next to Michael Cline in 1860, was Michael's grandson by way of daughter Margaret Cline. Michael Cline was present in Belmont Co., OH, in 1840. Likewise was Reuben T. Ferrell, who wed Margaret Cline in 1836. Reuben remarried in 1842 to Nancy Grimes--I'm pretty sure that Margaret had died, rather than being divorce from Reuben. Living with them in the 1850 census for Belmont Co. was son Samuel Ferrell, listed as age 13 and the likely product of Reuben Ferrell's first marriage. Samuel Ferrell is not to be found in Belmont Co. in 1860 or thereafter. He is, though--as stated above--living next to a Michael Cline, old enough to be his grandfather, in the 1860 census for Clay Twp., Knox Co. To summarize: is there an estate file for Michael Cline of Clay Twp., Knox Co., who died between 1860 and 1870? Michael's son Samuel B. Cline was a close neighbor in that period, and is likely listed among the heirs. And hopefully, Samuel Ferrell, son of Margaret Cline Ferrell, will be among the others. David Fletcher Richmond, VA
