Hi Pat, I think we've touched on this topic before. I have a few more Hines' folk in my database but I don't know that they are much help to you. I haven't had much luck with finding information on early Hines' families but I have found a "heap of" live cousins close to my childhood home of Altavista, VA - cousins I never knew were there and I'll be sure to visit next time I leave northwest Ohio for the southlands. Many of my husband's family lines are from Monroe Co., Ohio - no Hines that I know of. If we ever go there to research, I'll let you know. Susan P.S. Here's my earliest Hines' folks - They were in Pittsylvania Co., VA: Descendants of Thomas J. Hines 1 Thomas J. Hines b: in Maybe Ireland or their parents . +Nancy Petty b: in maybe England or their parents 2 Henry D. Hines b: August 04, 1822 d: January 19, 1891 .... +Celistia Robertson b: April 23, 1835 d: April 23, 1899 PHHGENE wrote: > > Where's the Hines name come from?
