Biography
John Cline Sr. was born about 1776, very likely in North Carolina.
He married Rachel Shaver in North Carolina on 5 Nov 1798. [1] [2]
- When Cline-6016 merged into Cline-397, the death dates were the only discrepancy. One had 1820; One had 1860.
Research Notes
Children believed to be (from a FindAGrave memorial?):
- John Martin Cline Jr (1800–1821)
- Michael Cline (1805–1850)
- Andrew Jackson Cline (1806–1880)
- Catherine Ann Cline (1807– )
- John Cline (1808–1860)
- William Cline (1810–1853)
- Margaret Cline (1812–1865)
Census Records: The 1820 census doesn't have much detail and may not apply to this person. It is included because the location and ages could be John Martin and Rachel Cline. Two younger Clines are also on the census, John and Adam, who could have been their children.[3]
Move to Tennessee
- Fact: Immigration (Bef. 1806)[4]
- Fact: Residence (1820) Gallatin, Sumner, Tennessee, United States[4]
Possible Parents
- Son of Michael and Catarina
- Some researchers believe his parents to be Michael Klein and Anna Katherine Schuffert. Hans Michael Klein arrived in 1738 from Europe with his father, Moriz Klein[citation needed] or in July 1747, arriving in Philadelphia.[5]
- Hans Michael Klein married Anna Katherine "Catarina" Shuffert in 1750 in Pennsylvania.[6]
- After 1758, their children were all born in North Carolina.[citation needed]
- Michael and Catarina are known to have had a son named John (see her profile for details).
- Son of Andreas
- Some researchers believe that the John Cline who died in Tennessee is the son of Andreas: Johann Martin Cline (1758-1828). That profile and this one were recently in a proposed merge, which has been postponed. ~ Noland-165 12:45, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Conflated Information
- The parents and birth information for this profile, Cline-397 (b 1776 in NC to Michael), and Cline-639 (b 1758 in PA to Andreas) are for different people, but they appear to share the same death information. The proposal to merge these profiles was postponed 30 December 2021. Another proposed merge, with Martin Cline (abt.1755-abt.1828), was also postponed.
- Hans Michael Klein of Mecklenburg County is known to have had a son named John, but not much more is known about him:
- John was born before c1783, when he is named in his father's will (apparently c1765 or later, as the wording of the will implies his children were under age)[7]
- John is named in a land transaction in Cabarrus County on 21 October 1799 (with his brothers George & Daniel)[8]
Raw Research
- Movement of Martin Cline, born in Pennsylvania: The claim is that the family moved from PA in 1792; the lack of a Michael Cline in the 1790 census for Lincoln County, NC supports this. He moved from Carabbus County, NC to Sumner County, TN in August 1805.[9]
- Martin Cline appears in the 1800 census for Lincoln County, NC where he is shown as over 45 years old. He also sold property there in 1804 prior to purchasing land in Sumner County, TN in 1805.[9]
- Three NC Michael Clines: Klein-396 (names a son John in his will),[7] a Michael Cline Jr. who was killed in battle in 1783 (likely an unmarried son of Klein-396),[10] and Michael Cline (abt.1761-1840, married Fanny Killian), son of Sebastian and nephew of Klein-396.[11]
- There's another Michael, born in Pennsylvania, with the bio text mentioning Virginia and a son in Harrison County, Indiana: Michael Cline (1756-1821).
Location Notes
- Cabarrus County was formed in 1792 from Mecklenburg County. (Lincoln County was created in 1779, when “Tryon County [was] divided into Lincoln & Rutherford Counties”).[12]
- Catawba County formed from Lincoln County in 1842; Lincoln County gained from Burke in 1782 & Burke County was formed from Rowan County in 1777.[12]

I disagree that John m Rachel Shaver and Martin m Rachel are the same person and I postponed the merge proposed for them (of Cline-397 and Cline-639) last month. I do not see that support for the merge has been added and still disagree that they are the same person, as does Mary, who posted research notes on Martin's profile (Cline-4433) that say, in part:
As I noted in my reply to Katherine on Rachel Shaver-1989, my involvement with these Clines was by way of Fannie Killian, who married one of the Michael Clines who was in contention as John/Martin/John Martin's father (he's not), so please forgive my delayed response (I do not follow these profiles or the Cline name, so it takes me a while to re-acquaint myself with the family).
Katherine - I saw another comment from you on one of the profiles that lamented the steady supply of duplicate profiles... I have the same lament for many of my ancestors!
Perhaps you could create a space page to outline the family as supported by sources? It would probably not need to be as a complex as the one that I did for the multiple generations of Peter Joneses in Virginia, but that's the kind of reference I'm thinking might be needed - see Space: Virginia Peter Joneses.
Cheers, Liz

Cline-639 and Cline-397 appear to represent the same person because: Katherine - should these be merged?
edited by Liz (Noland) Shifflett
edit - sorry... not sure what I was looking at. You just edited one of the two attached recently, and proposed a merge with a third profile. I'm a bit in the weeds trying to sort out the profiles attached for Michael & Catarina's children.
