HINES Family History
Submitted by Joyce Hines Stone.

Richard Hines B- 1807 in VA. Wife Elmira Crawford William Hines B-1814 in Atlanta Ga. Came to Texas from Hinds County Ms. With their children, except 2 daughters were already married and they stayed in Ms. They arrived first in Seguin TX. In Dec. 1852 later bought property in Selma, Bexar county, TX. Two more children born to them after coming to Texas.

Three of their sons were in the Civil War Silas Hines, William Hines and Lewis Hines. Silas died in 1863 in the war and is buried in Old Gray Cemetery in Knoxville, Tn. William married a girl from La. and lived his life in Baton Rouge, died and is buried there. Lewis came home from the war and was very mixed up about the war; Carpet Baggers shot and killed Lewis and his friend a Mr. Dunn in Comal County TX.

Lewis Hines and Ignacio Serna joined the Army together. After the war the boys came home, and Ignacio married Lewis Hines' sister Frances Virginia Hines. These are all my Great Uncles and Aunts.

Martha Louise Hines married John Cook who was in the war, was a prisoner for a time and then drowned in the Tombigee River while loading supplies, Martha later married William Brock, Saphronia Ann Hines married John Warren Paige, William Owen Hines married Julia O. Gorham, Richard F. Hines married Katherine Goll, Charles Henry Warren Hines married Frances Louisa Tampke (this writer’s grandparents). Mary Cooper Hines married Samuel Newton Hedges. Angelo Passmore Hines married Frederica Goll, Alice Melissa Hines married Thomas Johnson Calvert. Clinton A. Hines died at age 17 years was either shot or hung, do not know the whole story.

Charles Henry Warren Hines was my grandfather, my own father and his siblings were born in Selma area.

Charles Henry Warren Hines (Called Jessie) was a Trail Driver of Longhorn cattle back in the 1870’s he rode to Dodge City, Kansas and to Abilene, Kansas several times. He rode the Chizum Trail and went through places like Done’s crossing. He has a Journal with names of John Wheeler and David Wheeler, Robert S. Neighbors, others were Ira Poor, Cupples, Giraird, Huffmeyer and Pascall and many others. He was very much in love with my Grandma Louisa Tampke Hines, she lived in Wetmore with her parents a German Family. She had told my grandfather if he intended to marry her he would have to give up driving Longhorns up the trail, he gave it up and they married.

He was a man of Great Character, his word was his Bond. I never had the pleasure to know him as he died in 1912, I was born in 1930.

His name is in the Trail Driver’s Of Texas, his story is not there, he died before he had the chance to give his story. I understand he was 6 ft. 5 inches tall and very handsome.

Child #1 Alice Louisa Hines married Daniel Lloyd, Robert Lee Hines married Bonnie M. Seets, May D. Hines married Walter P. Young, Charles Henry Hines married Nova D. Wiley (this writer’s parents). Richard William Hines married Mary Murphy. Two young daughters died under one year of age.

This writer Joyce F. Hines Stone married Eugene T. Stone in 1947 we have 4 daughters and one son, 12 grandchildren, 8 grandsons and 4 granddaughters and 2 great granddaughters, this family has been my life. I was born in San Antonio.

The Richard Hines family lived next to the Davenport place or I should say across from Davenport Cemetery. Richard died 1864, Elmira died 1894 both buried in Selma? Where? I think on the old Schmid place? Any one know for sure?

This writer found about 50 old letters written by the Hines Family back to Al. where Martha raised her family, they were found in an old keepsake box in Pushmataha, Choctaw County, AL. where Martha lived. This is where I learned so much about my Hines Family, they are treasure’s, My Hines family were educated, they had wonderful vocabularies and could write very well. I could go on and on, if anyone wants to know more contact me at ladystone24@aol.com.
