HINES

Surnames: HINES FALLS SHAFER
My Henry Harrison HINES arrived in Wentworth Co, ON circa 1850. He was born 1817 in Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY [tho' this is not proven]. He may have arrived in Canada as early as 1844.

His (13?) children were born in NY and in ON (aka Canada West) during two known marriages [FALLS; SHAFER].

He was an innkeeper/ hotel keeper (1850's Mount Hope/ Glanford Twp) then a farmer and butcher (Glanford Twp & Barton Twp and Hamilton Farmers' Market). Henry and several of his sons moved circa 1870s and 1880s to the Huntsville and Bracebridge areas where some sons established their own families.

Henry died in Bracebridge, Muskoka District, ON in 1901 and is buried in Hamilton (York St. Cemetery), Wentworth Co in a family plot.

His descendants have spread throughout Canada and the USA. Several of his sons fought in the Civil War (Union Army) and remained in the USA. So far, civil war records have been found only for Henry Franklin HINES and James Almont HINES.

If you know or believe or suspect that you are or might be a descendant of these HINES lines, I would welcome your questions.
Please contact me.

Thanks...

I am his ggg-grand daughter thru his daughter Luceinia Augusta Hines Goodall Ferguson. I've been trying to locate info on Henry & Margaret's parents. Also, family history tells that there is Blackfoot ancestry in this line somewhere?? Stumped, any help would be much appreciated! Heather

Hello Heather I am Henry Harrison Hines gg-grand daughter through his youngest son George Alfred who moved to Bracebridge and became a butcher on the main street (Manitoba Street). He raised his family of Margaret, Reginald and Jessie there. Reginald was my grandfather but I never met him. I live in the Parry Sound Area near Bracebridge but was never told of any other relatives.
I encountered the name Goodall in some of my research, I think one of George,s sisters. I am most interested in Henry,s history in Watertown ,New york and before: i.e. his birthplace, parents and siblings names
