I checked plats.net and there is a record for Francis Hains for Hains Grove in 1730. So either the name was changed or they sold the land and moved away. In a message dated 1/1/2013 10:57:24 A.M.

I WOND IF EPHRAIM HAINS NAME WAS CHANGED TO HEARN. ANY IDEAS? I'VE NEVER SEEN A HAINS BEFORE IN MY RESEARCH. THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS INFO. GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, NORAH HASTINGS COLLINS
