| 4601 | LKH Notes: In 1919 he was admitted to US National Homes for Disable Volunteer Soldiers, Danville, V ermilion County, Illinois. In 1920 he died in that hospital. The Cline/Milner cemetery has a burial for Alfred Ralls b.16 January 1866, d.10 September 1870. Franklin and Harriet (Cline) Ralls are also buried there. Is this their child? Franklin Ralls information on Illinois deaths and stillbirths index gives his father's name: Moses, and his mother as Newbro. | Ralls, Franklin (I33)

| 4602 | LKH notes: In the 1850 US census, Ransom Fox, age 48 is head of household which includes his wife, Pernelope, age 52, and six children ranging in age from 9 to 18 years. He is listed as a farmer and owns $400 of real estate. Next door is his oldest son, Rufus Fox, age 24, and his wife Lavina who were married in January of 1850. In the 1860 US census, Ransom, age 56 and wife Pernelope, age 62, have two sons still living at home, Carter, age 20, and Robert, age 16. Ransom, Penelope, and Carter are listed as unable to read or write. Robert is listed as attending school. | Fox, Ransom (I2043)

| 4603 | LKH Notes: When Rufus Fox died in 1859 he left Levina a widow with five children under the age of nine years old. In the 1860 US census Lavina Fox, age 32, is head of household with five children age ranging from 10 months old to 9 years old. In the 1870 US census Lavina, age 42, is head of household with six children ranging in age from 8 months to 19 years. The youngest is John Fox, age 8 months; I do not find any additional documentation for him. IN the 1880 US census, Lavina Fox, age 51, is living alone. Occupation listed as: keeping house. In the 1900 US census Lavina "Vina" Fox, age 72, has moved to Illinois and is in the household of her daughter Mary (Fox) Gilroy) who is herself a widow with three children ages ranging from 10 to 13. | Kelly, Levina "Vina" (I2034)

| 4604 | 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. | Cline, John B. (I1)
