HENRY CLINE, the second son of Michael, who was the son of Sebastian, was born March 10, 1799. When a young man he learned the trade of house carpenter and was considered one of the finest workman of his time. It has been said of him that when the original log structure of Old St. Paul's Church was removed from its first foundation and rebuilt at its present location, that Henry Cline worked one hundred and sixty four days. He was then a young married man. He was a member of the Lutheran Church and held membership there until he moved out of the community or maybe until he married his second wife in 1849 and then transferred his membership to the Methodist Church with his wife who held membership at Pisgah, now on the Balls Creek Circuit. Esquire Cline (for that is what almost all called him) like his father was a very popular man and was considered authority on legal matters, and being a Justice of the Peace, he performed hundreds of marriage ceremonies, during the 40 or more years as Magistrate, having been appointed about 1825. When Catawba County was formed out of Lincoln by act of the State Legislature of 1842, a Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions was ordered to be held at the home of Mathias Barringer on the third day of March, 1843. At this court Henry Ciine was chosen Clerk. At that court he was elected Entry Taker for the County, and a member of the Select court, which consisted of Jonas Bost, Chairman; George Shuford, Joshua Wilson, Henry Cline and John Williams. Salary of Select Court was $1.50 per day. The Court adjourned to meet on June 2, at Newton. Henry Cline was a Justice of the Peace as early as 1827 and all through the years, until 1870 when he moved to Lincoln County, he was a highly respected citizen and was permitted to live out his allotted years, and even more. Passing away, at the age of eighty - seven years and a few days in 1886. He was twice married. The first was to Miss Sally Boovey which was performed on April 25, 1820. She was the daughter of Mathias and Ruth (Baker) Boovey, and was born Feb. 1, 1801, and died Sept. 1, 1847. Henry and wife first settled on one of his father's farms on what was called Snow Creek, a few miles from Hickory. Years later they moved to another of his father's farms, four miles south of Newton on the Llncolnton Road by way of the Fullenwilder, later the Williams Iron Works, now Providence Cotton Mills near Maiden. Michael Cline, Sr. bought this farm from David Lutz through George Ikerd, agent for David Lutz, who had heired same from his father, Jacob Lutz, who had died in 1808 and was buried on the place just across the creek on the hill, where other members of his family were buried. This is yet called the Lutz Graveyard. This Lutz place was made up of two Grants. The one on the north side was 186 acres granted to Samuel Alexander, pattent bearing date May 5, 1769 On January 29 Jacob Lutz bought this same piece of land of John Lusk, the other land making up the Jacob Lute farm was 400 acres on both sides of Pinch Gut Creek was granted to Samuel Young by His Majesty, King George 3rd, pattent bearing date Mar. 31, 1755. Described as follows: Situate, lying and being in the County of Anson and Province of North Carolina, on the north side of the south fork of the Catawba River including the south fork path, on a branch of Clark's Creek called Pinch Gut. On this place Henry Cline built a new house, as using the old Lutz house as home for his colored family. Here the Cline family remained until in 1870 moved to Lincoln County, having sold the remainder of the old place to Bostian Bowman, who gave it to his daughter, Emmaline who had married Jeconias Bolick. One of her daughters married Henry Sigman who owns the old house piace at this time. The house that Henry Cline had built in 1839 was burned down in 1900. Henry Kline and wife, Sally, were parents of thirteen children, two sons and eleven daughters. Two of the daughters died, one at the age of three and the other at the age of five, and the oldest son died at about 23 years of age, unmarried.
