The article I posted which was written by Virginia Bare has several major errors, so please use it with caution!
Apparently several different Peter Cline's were converged to formulate the article.
Peter Cline of Tug Fork was not the one who served with the Virginia Continental line.He served in the 12th Regiment, PA Line and lived in Berks Co PA at that time.He moved to Montgomery Co VA where he filed for pension:

This book is located in the Washington Co VA Historical Society in Abingdon, VA.
"PETER CLINE, Montgomery County, Virginia, Order Book 25, p. 336. Montgomery County, Virginia, September 3, 1832, Peter Cline, a resident of Pike County, Kentucky, age 76 years, declared that he served in 1774 with Captain Henry Miller, Lieutenant Henderson, Major Patterson, and Lieutenant Colonel Potter, Colonel Cook, and ensign Taylor, and left the service some time in September 1777. He resided in Redingtown, Berks (?) County, Pennsylvania, at the time he entered service. He was engaged in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton, and Germantown. He marched from wide (White?) marsh in Pennsylvania to Germantown and back to Chestnut Hill and to the mouth of the Schuylkill and up to Valley Forge.
FOOTNOTE AT BOTTOM OF PAGE 65: "Peter Cline is not listed as a pensioner in the National Archives index under the spelling Cline, but a Peter Kline, who served in Pennsylvania, is listed under S22347; no other information in Montgomery County, Virginia."
