Boston Cline Jr. appears in the 1768 Rowan county tax list along with his father Boston and brothers Christopher and John Cline.

Boston Jr's wife, Margaret, is most likely the daughter of Derrick Ramsour. According to records, Margaret Ramsour Cline is born 1740-1744 and dies on January 5, 1789 in Lincoln county.

A court petition filed in October 1774 against Boston Cline Jr. reveals that he has abandoned his wife and family of small children and has "run off to Georgia" with Hannah Fry Burns, wife of Conrad Burns. One record is found in Richmond county, Georgia in 1777, wherein Boston Jr. signs a petition to the Continental Congress seeking removal of a General Mcintosh as an incompetent officer. Nothing further of Boston Jr's life and death in Georgia has yet been found. However, Lincoln county court records in 1787 and 1788 document Hannah Fry Burns' return to Lincoln county with a son Jacob Cline Burns, born in 1777. GSP notes that Boston Jr and Hannah Fry Burns also have a daughter Elizabeth, born 1785-1786. Elizabeth's subsequent fate is unknown.

It is assumed that Boston Jr. dies in Georgia prior to 1790, since he does not appear in any of the surviving 1790 Georgia tax lists. Perhaps Hannah Burns returned to Lincoln county in 1787, due to Boston Jr's death. Hannah Burns is found in Lincoln county court records in 1795 with an abuse complaint against her brother's wife for abusing her son Jacob Burns, and in 1799 contesting being disowned in her father's 1784 will.

Sebastian, Jr. appears in the records many times. Nicholas Fry disinherits his daughter, Hannah Fry Burns, for deserting her husband Conrad Burns and going to Georgia with Sebastian Cline, Jr.

Hannah returns to Lincoln County, NC ca 1788 with her two illegitimate children, Jacob b. 1777 and Elizabeth b. 1785-6 and they appear in Lincoln County, NC records. Jacob is often referred to as Jacob Burns/alias Cline. What happened to Elizabeth is not known but Hannah, d. ca 1818, in Lincoln County.

It must be noted that in the Sebastian Cline family history, Ciscero Cline does not recognize the existence of Boston Cline Jr. and attributes his wife Margaret, as well as his children, to be those of Boston Jr's brother, Christopher Cline. It is certainly understandable that the remaining Sebastian Cline family and descendants would not treasure the memory of this Boston Jr who abandoned his family and that they would not speak of him to the younger and succeeding generations. Therefore, by the time that Ciscero Cline is writing (1910-1915), he and his family of history contributors have no recollection of Boston Jr. They probably remembered only Boston Jr's abandoned children and had come to believe that they belonged to Christopher Cline. This association is natural because Christopher was the only other son of Boston Cline old enough to have fathered these children. (Source: http://www.ncgenweb.us/catawba/Cline/b355.htm.
