72. Christina CLINE {1.4.4}⁶⁴^,⁶⁵ was born between 1745 and 1750 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania⁶² and died in 1771 in Lincoln (Catawba) County, North Carolina.⁶²^,¹⁰⁸ She was buried in Old Yoder Cemetery. Oral family history, cited by Ciscero Cline, declares Christina to be a daughter of Sebastian Cline who marries Conrad Yoder about 1763 and dies about 1771 after having three sons, John, Jacob and David Yoder. John and David Yoder are present at Sebastian Cline's 1794 estate sale, which could indicate that they are his grandsons. Jacob Yoder is stated to be the son of Conrad and Christina Cline Yoder. No direct proof has been found that Christina is Sebastian's daughter, but the Cline and Yoder families believe that she is. Christina is probably born about 1745. [marriage record in Rowan Co.]

Christina and Conrad Yoder live on 200 acres on Jacob's Fork of the Catawba River near Henry Weidner. Conrad is born in Switzerland and immigrates to Pennsylvania in 1751. He then migrates to North Carolina by 1760 and buys his North Carolina land from Henry Weidner in 1762.
