On March 13, 2005 Kent Elam posted a question about whether or not the Hainline Family descended from a Hessian Soldier. My son-in-law is a Hainline. At dinner he asked me about the reference I had seen. He is descended from John (Johannes Valentin) Hainline of Rowan County, N.C. That Hainline ancestor immigrated in 1749 through Philadelphia. Karen
