Hines

The Hines Family

The Hines family has deep roots in Fairfield County, Ohio, where generations lived, worked, and raised their families along Clearcreek Road and throughout the communities of Clearport, Revenge, and Rich Hollow. Their story is one of perseverance, faith, hard work, and an enduring love for family.

For generations, the Hineses were farmers, dairymen, mechanics, businessmen, and community members who helped shape the countryside they called home. Their lives revolved around the seasons, the land, Pine Grove Church, neighborhood gatherings, and the strong family bonds that continue to unite descendants today.

This section of the website follows the Hines family from its earliest known ancestors through each succeeding generation. Here you’ll find family trees, historical records, photographs, newspaper articles, military records, cemetery information, and the personal stories that transform names on a chart into the lives of real people.

Many of these stories have been preserved through the memories of children and grandchildren who grew up on the family farm—recollections of Sunday dinners, the dairy barn, the junkyard, haylofts, swimming in Clear Creek, and countless moments that defined life in rural Fairfield County.

While every family tree begins with names and dates, it is the stories, traditions, and memories that truly preserve a family’s legacy. It is our hope that this collection will honor those who came before us while inspiring future generations to remember where they came from and to continue adding their own chapters to the Hines family story.
