General Notes: Husband - George Line


He was the founder of the Line family in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

He emigrated from Switzerland to America with his parents, about 1710, when a young boy; they settled in Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood.
He married and in 1778 they came to Dickinson Township, Cumberland County, and purchased land.

A native of Switzerland, he came to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, from Lancaster County, in 1778, and purchased 540 acres of land from Gen. John Armstrong, and resided there until his death.

During the time when the French Huguenots were settling in Switzerland, his parents sailed for America, but his father died on ship-board, and his mother located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he grew up. He was for many years proprietor of the famous Green Gardens, in Lancaster County, but, purchasing the property of Gen. John Armstrong, in Dickinson Township, Cumberland County, he settled there in 1778. He paid £9,000 Continental currency for the farm.
