  3rd wife Eliza Hunley was "colored", according to one sworn statement in James' pension file. They may have had a daughter while he was still married to Jemina Null; (possibly Dora Kline b.

Eliza applied for widow's pension 12 June 1912, application #988230, certificate #884479.
  After James Kline's discharge from the army, from the Mt. Pleasant Hospital in Wash. D. C., he returned to Church, Clarion Co., PA, where he remained until the middle or latter part of April 1863. In April 1863 he moved to Vesuvins, Lawrence Co., OH, where he died in 1912.
