Your information is certainly interesting to me. My Dad's family are Hymes in Georgia. Now if you look up his father and other ancestors in the Census Bureau a lot of the names were spelled Hines instead of Hymes.
Never know could be some distant relation there. My grandfather's name was Alex Hymes who lived in Louisville, GA, Jefferson County between 1882 to 1963.
