Nan mentioned the Hinds/Hines vertical file in the North Carolina Archives in her last post. I have been through this file and found only one thing new; i. e., a reference to a book entitled John William Hines, born c. 1600 in Londonderry, Ireland, His Descendants, principally of North Carolina and Virginia and their associated families by William N. Hurley. This book can be ordered from Heritage Books, Inc., 1540-E Pointer Ridge Pl, Suite 301, Bowie, MD 20716 for $22.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. I copied a few pages for my own use but cannot post them to the list because the book is copyrighted. However, I can state that John William Hines was reportedly born in or near Londonderry, Ireland about 1600. He married Sarah Alexander, daughter of Richard Alexander, in Londonderry and had five children, all born in Ireland. Three of his sons, William, Sr. John William, Jr. and Zachariah, reportedly came to Jamestown, Virginia on the Anne Bolyn in 1650. The book deals with the genealogy of this family. Barbara
