My HINES connection was living in nearby Smith Co TX in the 1860 Jamestown Beat: 25 644 640 Hines Newton 34 M Day Laborer AL 26 644 640 Hines Jane 27 F AL 27 644 640 Hines Josephine 4 F AL 28 644 640 Hines Mary 2 F TX They are listed below my gg grandparents, James and Lucinda McNEELY (spelled McNealy in the census) and their daughter and son-in-law Sam HARRIS and wife Charlotte (McNEELY) Harris. I believe the HINES listed is also a son-in-law and a daughter of James and Lucinda McNEELY. Since I had some kin in both Ellis and Smith Counties - I am hoping that there is a connection to some of the HINES researchers from Ellis Co, too! Sheryl McNeely Shaw SJMcS@aol.com
