CLINE FAMILY ASSOCIATION

PETER CLINE (Pieter Klein)

(1756-1843) 

The purpose of the Cline Family Association is to preserve the memory of Revolutionary War soldier and pioneer, Peter Cline and to collect and maintain genealogical information on his descendants.   One of the goals of this website is to provide a meeting place for the descendants of Peter Cline.  If you are a Cline or descend from a Cline, and you and/or your Cline ancestors live(d) in the West Virginia counties of: Logan, Mingo, McDowell, Wyoming; the Virginia counties of: Tazewell, Russell, Buchanan; or the Kentucky county of Pike, you are very likely a descendant of Peter Cline.  Please send us an email.  We would love to hear from you!

This website was launched in early, 2009 but was only loaded and updated in May, 2009.  The website is updated as time permits.  The most recent update was on January 22, 2011.  This update includes completion of the page on the Books About the Cline Family.  This update also includes additional grandchildren of Peter and Elizabeth Cline on the Third Generation page.  However, that page still needs 16 more entries and is not yet complete.   

The preeminent source book on Peter Cline and his descendants is Clines and Allied Families of the Tug River Region, 1998 Gateway Press, by Cecil Cline in collaboration with Harry Dale Cline.  You can read a digital version of this book online by clicking on the link below:
