Hi all,
There are two prominent Cline families in southwestern Virginia: Nicholas Cline of Wythe County and Peter Cline (1756- abt 1840) of the Tug River region of VA/WV-KY (Logan County).Nicholas (abt 1745-aft 1820) had a son Peter, but this Peter is not the same Peter as the Tug River Peter.
Nicholas did not have a son William but Peter Cline did.He is commonly referred to as William "Alum Billy" Cline and settled in Logan County, VA/WV.
There are also two Michael Clines: one by Peter of Tug and one by Nicholas.
I have researched my direct ancestor, William Cline (alias William Johnson) (1820-1886).He lived in Tazewell Co. VA from at least 1848 until his death.My website, www.clinejohnson.com discusses the various Cline families of the region.The website is a work in progress but I have some info on there that may be of interest.
