Hi: This was sent to the Hines list but I thought it could be a Hinds so I am sending it for the Hinds-L archives.

We have been searching for abt 10 years for names of his parents. He marr Sarah Dearth, b 1813, and they had ten children, living first in Monroe Co.,OH.; then moved to Pleasants Co. WVa, which is now Tyler Co. I understand that when Native American's marr'd into a white family, that they took the white families last name. This helped them to blend in, and kept them from being moved West to Reservations. Any other Hines out there with similar Brickwall?
