Kay, We are probably related. My ancestors include: Williams, Shanks, Alvis, Phillips. There are many people that are researching Pyne and Shanks, two of my grandmother's cousins (Williams) married Pyne.

I knew that John Pyne (Pine) married Nancy Shanks and is buried in the Shanks family cemetery. May I ask the Shanks family who Henry Pyne married, it looks like he had 2 sons. John Pyne or Pine also had a brother name James Pyne and a sister Mary Pyne or Pine who is my great-grandmother who married George W. Morris. From what I gather James Pyne also stayed in Hawkins County but I cannot find any records for him, he did serve in the civil war but afterwards I cannot find any records of him. I have found Pyne or Pine to be spelled two different ways in some of the records I have researched.
