" ALDERSON AND AMANDA CLINE
Alderson Cline was born on Sept. 15, 1853 in
Wyoming County, Wrginia, the son of James A. Cline and
Elizabeth Bailey and the grandson of Michael Cline and
Margaret “Peggy” Jones. He married Amanda Cline in
1874, the daughter, of Michael Cline Jr. and Tazzie Bailey
and the granddaughter of Michael Cline and Margaret
Bailey. Amanda’s grandfather and Alderson’s grandfa-
ther were two different Michael Clines, but they were
closely related. However, their common maternal grand-
parents were Archibald Bailey and Nancy Agnes Godfrey.
"Both Alderson and Amandawere descendants of Ger-
man immigrants, who served in the Revolutionary War
and subsequently settled in Virginia in a region that was
included in the formation of Montgomery County in 1777.
Virtually all the Clines in the southern counties ofWest
Virginia are descendants from the ancestors and off-
spring of Alderson and Amanda Cline.
"The early families of Baileys, Blankenships, Lamberts,
Lesters, Lockharts Johnsons, Justices, Vances and many
others had mam'ed Clines that were closely related to the
family of Alderson and Amanda. By the late 18005 most of
the inhabitants of the westernmost region of the county
were on a branch of the Cline family tree. The Clines
were so dominant in the region that it was not uncom—
mon for the young Cline people to marry someone who
was also a Cline. As my great aunt Lucy used to say,
“Who else are we going to marry ?“
"Alderson and Amanda were the parents of 10 chil»
dren: Anderson,1872 (died in childhood); Judson, 1876,
married Elizabeth Stacy; Isabelle, 1876, married George
Hurley; Lee, 1878, married Vicie Lester; Elijah, 1881, mar-
ried Buna Cline; Thursa, 1883, married Michael Lee; An-
thony, 1885, married Lenora—; Matilda, 1886, married
Walter Johnson and Lucy, 1888, married Lawyer Cline.
"At the present time over 300 descendants have re»
sulted from the union of, Alderson and Amanda Cline.
These descendants have included lumbermen, educa-
tors, business owners, doctors and professionals in al—
most every field of human endeavour, from coal miners
to rocket engineers, who live and work in almost every
state in the country. Buta large number of them continue
to work and enjoy the life that is to be found in the south-
ern counties of West Wrginia.
