Members of my family descend from Marcus Cline and his wife as well. As of the 1860 census, Marcus and Emeline Mitchell Cline were living in Bolivar, Tennessee; not that far from the Mississippi border.
On 10 May, 1864, the Union General Samuel Sturgis burned Bolivar to the ground. My bet says that this is when the Clines suddenly picked up and headed for Illinois.
And yes, since members of my family are descended from Marcus and Emeline, and picture copies or information would be appreciated. I gather that Marcus' parents were Solomon Cline and katy Smith...
