Research Notes:
A biosketch reported [18]:
William R. Line. In the early days of this State there lived in Manheim township, Lancaster county, a man named David Line. He was born June 10, 1753, and died Aug. 10, 1814. His wife, Ann, was born Jan. 12, 1758, and died Feb. 15, 1823. Both are buried in a graveyard in Manheim township. David and Ann Line had the following children: Rachel, born Jan. 5, 1777, died Sept. 17, 1814; John, born Dec. 25, 1778, died Nov. 28, 1852; George, born Dec. 2, 1780, died March 2, 1835; Daniel, born Jan. 12, 1782; William, born Oct. 15, 1785, died Nov. 16, 1868; Ann, born Oct. 29, 1788; Jesse, born Dec. 23, 1790; Sarah, born Feb. 16, 1793; Rebecca, born Jan. 1, 1796; Gabriel, born Aug. 10, 1798. Along about 1810, three of these ten children, John, George and Wilham, moved to Cumberland county. John and William settled in the part of Allen township that is now Monroe, where they for a number of years taught school. George settled in the part of East Pennsboro that is now Silver Spring. John and George continued to live in their respective localities the rest of their days, the former dying on Nov. 28. 1852. and the latter on March 2. 1835. Both are buried in the cemetery of the Trindle Spring Church.
When these three sons of David and Ann Line came to Cumberland county there lived in the vicinity of Churchtown a man named Jacob Wise, who was a prominent citizen and possessed of much property. Jacob Wise and Ann, his wife, had the following children : Mary, Elizabeth, George, David, Nancy, Rebecca, Sally, Catherine, Jacob and Samuel. Into this large family William Line, the young school teacher, from Lancaster county, came for a helpmeet. On April 2, 1812, he married Rebecca, daughter of Jacob and Ann Wise, the Rev. Alfred Halfenstine, pastor of the Reformed Church at Carlisle, pronouncing them man and wife. They took up housekeeping at Churchtown, then one of the most prosperous and promising points in the large township of Allen. He continued to teach school and do surveying and scrivening up until 1815. As the country was then rapidly becoming settled there was much surveying and conveyancing to do, and he consequently found it advantageous to reside at the county seat. He therefore moved to Carlisle, and located on West South street, in a brick house owned by one Patrick Phillips, father of the late Abram Phillips. While living here he bought a lot on the east side of South Hanover street, in the vicinity of the present Manse of the Second Presbyterian Church, and there he built himself a house and lived for several years. In December, 1819, he bought from Major Sterrett Ramsey at the eastern edge of town, forty-eight acres of land, a property that has since long been the home of the late James W. Bosler, and is now in the possession of his heirs. Later he purchased on the north side of the York Road in the same locality, a four-acre tract afterward owned by the late Carey W. Ahl—upon which he lived for many years. Still later he purcliased the property opposite to where the Philadelijhia & Reading passenger depot now stands, now owned by his son Luther A., and there he spent the rest of his clays. He died on Nov. 16, 1868, after having lived out a long and useful career. From early in life he actively participated in public affairs, wielding great influence and winning a prominence which few men locally attain. His true worth can best be judged by the number and character of the public trusts he filled, and to enable the reader to judge correctly we here enumerate the principal ones : In 1813 Governor Snyder appointed him a justice of the peace for Allen township; in 1814 the same governor appointed him deputy surveyor for Cumberland county: in 1818 Governor Findlay appointed him Recorder of Deeds and also Register of Wills; in 1828 Governor Shultz appointed him an Associate Judge, and in December, 1833, he was again appointed Register of Wills by Governor Ritner.
Through being so many years in the service of the public he became thoroughly familiar with public affairs, and a very ready and agreeable conversationalist. He was in a large sense a public servant, and for many years was popularly known as "Judge" Line. In his later years, after he had in a measure retired, he devoted his time and attention principally to tlie culture of flowers and ornamental plants, and found much enjoyment in showing visitors through his gardens, greenhouses and nursery, and many persons called expressly to hear him talk on flowers and relate personal reminiscences of which he had an inexhaustible store. To William Line and Rebecca, his wife, were born children as follows : Washington, born March 11, 1813; William Ramsey, born Dec. 1, 1814; Augustus Asbury, born May 17, 1819; and Amelia Ann, born June 6, 1823. Rebecca (Wise) Line died Feb. 18, 1826, and Oct. 12, 1830, Mr. Line married Mrs. Catherine King, widow of Dr. John King,and daughter of Dr. John Luther, of Harrisburg, by which marriage he had the following children : Cornelia Emily, born Sept. 13, 1831 ; Luther Alexander, born Dec. 21, 1835. Mrs. Catherine Line, Judge Line's second wife, died Jan. 24, 1854. and he and his two wives are buried on the same lot in Ashland cemetery.
