Obituary (Contributed)
Benjamin F. Cline, son of Nathaniel and Cynthia Cline, was born in Blount township,, Jan. 24, 1849. His father, Nathaniel Cline, was a fifer in the 125th Ill., Vol. Inf. Young Benjamin tried three times to get away and join his father's regiment but being the main dependence of his mother, she three times brought him back.

On the farm young Benjamin grew to manhood. The loss of his father in the civil war threw upon him the responsibility of assisting his mother to provide for a family of small children and this responsibility he faithfully performed, working very hard clearing up the land for the surrounding farmers. The weather was never so hot or so cold but what his ax awakened the echoes of the surrounding forest. He was known in his community as an honest, upright, persevering boy.

At about the age of 18 years he united with the Christian church under the ministry of "Uncle Jimmy" Conners, a pioneer preacher of this county. The Bible became from that day on and was until the time of his death, his rule of action. His chief delight was reading and nature. He delighted in the song of the birds and forest wild flowers. About his humble home were found in summer big beds of flowers, cared for tenderly. About the age of 21, he married Miss Samantha Washburne of Waynetown, Indiana. To this union one child was born, Miss Alice who with her mother still survives him. His life was a benediction to those who know him best. Three sisters and two brothers survive him also.
His aged mother died just one year ago to the day of his death.

Census: 1840, Blount Township, Vermilion County, Illinois
Census: 1850, Blount Township, Vermilion County, Illinois

Notes:

From History of Vermilion County. By H. W. Beckwith. Chicago, Illinois, H.H. Hill and Company, 1879. Page 886.

J.B. Cline came from Kentucky in 1829, and settled on section 25. He made a good farm, and was a good citizen. He had nine children, who are all dead but Spencer, who lives still in the same log-house his father built. Mr. (J.B.) Cline died many years ago. His widow died with the year past at the age of eight-four. Spencer, the only living child, has lived here fifty years. Of ten children five are living, three of them at home.

From: The past and present of Vermilion County, Illinois. S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1903.
Page 1117.
Chapter on Spender Cline.
His parents, John B. and Catherine (Shumate) Cline came to this county in 1828, when the work of progress and improvement had scarcely been begun and often would attend the Indian Meetings here. The father was a potter by trade and frequently made trips as far north as Wisconsin in order to dispose of his wares. He also traveled along the Sagamon river, selling his goods.
page 1118.
living on Section 25, Blount township - the old homestead on which her parents lived and died. The house which still stands here is now about seventy-two years old and in it the widow of our subject is yet living. ... Spender Cline assisted in clearing the old home farm. The land here was entered by his father from the government and not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made upon the place. All of the pioneer conditions of Vermilion county were familiar to Mr. and Mrs. Cline.

LKH Notes:
The earliest record I can find for this family is the marriage record for John Cline and Catey Shumate on 3 December 1811 in Harrison County, Kentucky. John Shumate is recorded as her father.

The next record is the 1820 US census where the family resides on south side of Licking River, Harrison County, Kentucky. Household members are:
1 white male aged 26-44 (who would be John B. Cline age 34).
1 white male age 16-25 (who I cannot identify).
3 white males under age 10 (who would be Spencer age 7, Andrew J age 5 and Nathaniel age 4).
1 white female age 26-44 (who would be Catherine age 30).
2 white females under age 10 (who would be Lizean age 7 and Susannah age 1).

In the 1820 US census John Shumate is next door and is most probably Catherine (Shumate) Cline's father.

The next record is the 1830 US census where the family resides in the western division, Harrison County, Kentucky. The household members are:
1 white male age 40-49 (who would be John B. Cline age 44).
1 white male age 15-19 (who would be Spencer age 17).
2 white males age 10-14 (who would be Andrew J. age 15 and Nathaniel age 14).
1 white female age 30-30 (who would be Catherine age 40).
1 white female age 10-14 (who would be Lizean age 13).
4 white females age 5-9 (who would be Susannah, age 11, Merica, abt 10, Sarah, age 8, and Amanda age 7).
1 white female under the age of 5 who would be Mary age 5.

In the 1830 US census, the households of John Shumate and of William Shumate are nearby.

On 15 November 1830 John Cline is the original purchaser of 80 acres of federal land in Blount Township of Vermilion County, Illinois: Township 20N, Section 25, Range 12W, Section part W25W.
Nearby Christian Cline purchased 160 acres on 9 November 1830: Township 20N, Section 26, Range 12W, Section Part SE. I have found no other records of him and I do not know if or how he might be related to John B. Cline.
In 1831 three members of the Shumate family will also purchase land nearby: John Shumate, Stephen Shumate, and William Shumate. I have not yet found any records that would prove if or how they are related to Catherine (Shumate) Cline other than the probability that John Shumate was the father who signed at her marriage; and that her photo album contained a photograph of Bill Shumate, possibly her brother (?).

The year 1830 was probably the year that the family moved from Harrison County, Kentucky to Vermilion County, Illinois. It was also a tragic year for youngest children. From their Bible records we know that baby Catherine died 26 Feb 1830, only five months old; baby John Cline died 23 May 1830 at one year, six months old; and young William died 11 Aug 1830 at three years, six months old. In July of 1830 their youngest child, Leusinda, was born, but she also would die just three years later.
There are no locations given for either the deaths or the births in the Bible record, and there are no burial records that I yet have found in either Kentucky or Illinois. We also do not know if the family moved before or after John B. Cline purchased the 80 acres in Vermilion County.

The next record is the 1840 US census when the Cline family resides in Vermilion County, Illinois. Household members are:
1 white male age 50-59 (who would be John B. Cline age 54).
1 white male age 20-29 (who would be Spencer age 29).
1 white male age 15-19 (who would be Andrew J. age 25).
1 white female age 40-49 (who would be Catherine age 49).
3 white females age 15-19 (who would be: Sarah age 18, Amanda age 17, and Mary age 15).
1 white female age 10-14 (I don't know who this is).
Nearby families include William Shumate, John Shumate

Son Nathaniel had married in March 1840 at age 24.
Daughter Lizean had married in April 1837 at age 23.
Daughter Susannah had married in March 1836 at age 21.
Daugher Merica had married in May 1839 at age 20.
Spencer would marry in October 1840.
Sarah would marry in Jun 1841.
Amanda would marry in January 1842
Andrew J. would marry in Aug 1842.
Mary would marry in October 1842.

In the 1850 US census John B. Cline, age 64, household includes, his wife Catherine, age 50, and their orphaned granddaughter Catherine Cline, age 8 (daughter of Andrew Jackson Cline and Eliza Milliner). His occupation is listed as potter. They live next door to Spencer Cline and to Nathaniel Cline, both farmers. Next door to Stephen Cline is the household of John G. Gritton which includes his son Jesse, age 14, who will later marry Catherine.
