As to a supposed marriage to Christoper Cline (Klein), in "German Speaking People West of the Catawba River in North Carolina 1750-1800" by Lorena S. Eaker she states that Christoper did not marry Margaret Ramsour and that he did not have a large family. Ciscero Cline's book "The Klein Family" states that Christoper is the 2nd son of Sebastian. Much information about the Klein family comes from Cicero Cline's book "Klein or Cline History" by Cicero Cline 1915, though much of the information about Margaret and Bastian Klein Jr. has been found to be false. This is the foundation upon which all recent researcher's have built, and Cicero Cline's contribution must be acknowledged. He has Margaret married to Bostian's brother Christopher. It is possible that Christopher helped to support Margaret's children, or even married her after she was divorced. However, this has yet to be proven.
"Boston Jr's wife, Margaret, is most likely the daughter of Derrick Ramsour. On the same date that Derrick deeds the 200 acres to Boston Cline Jr, husband of Margaret, Derrick also deeds 200 acres to Jacob Carpenter, the husband of his daughter Catherine Ramsour. Lorena Eaker (GSP) states that Margaret Ramsour Cline is born 1740-1744 and dies on January 5, 1789 in Lincoln county. This is consistent with the fact that she does not appear in the 1790 North Carolina census." [From a genweb site posted by Derick S. Hartshorn, III ]
