Cline Family Group

George Cline died leaving thirteen equal heirs. See [Richland County, Ohio] Administration records 1856-1860, 16 (1856-1859):250-251 (#3/George Cline); digital images, FamilySearch, FHL film 960105, Digital Collection (DGS) 5874760, image 149 of 684; Settlement Account of David Light, Adm'r of George Cline, deceased, for "Of this amt the widow gets one half, 73.63-1/2. This is to be divided among thirteen heirs being the sum of $5.62 to each."

The names of the thirteen heirs were not given as such in either of the recorded settlement accounts. Marginal note on this, the final settlement account reads, "Receipts No 25 to 38 inclusive filed for the balance in Admins hands Feby 23, 1863 -- J. Meredith _____." Note: Have paged through much of volume 19 without locating a record of these additional receipts.

The outline below roughly identifies the children of George Cline, dec'd. The names of those born to his first marriage must be proven, as no record of their names as been located in estate documents. The names of his surviving children born to his second marriage are known from the probate record of his second wife, Sarah.

Which William Cline by 26 October 1860 had left George's children as heirs? As below, Sarah's minor heirs, Alfred and Sarah Cline, received a distribution from the estate of a William Cline. IF we can identify the source of that distribution, it may well list the names of George's other children.
