Do you know of Old Line ???

Our sources for Old Line (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Old Line other than they indicate that Old Line would be found somewhere in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
