Merry Christmas to my Bucklin/Hine relatives. A few weeks ago I posted a photo of George Henry Hine on his birthday. Now it is time for his wife Susan G. Stanbrough Hine.

She was born in 1851 in Westfield, Indiana, and died in 1933 in Hathaway, Louisiana. She is what is referred to as a gateway ancestor. She comes from a long line of Quakers who were really good about keeping family records. So I know the names of all of her parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents. I did this with the help of having my DNA tested at 23andMe. I’ve been able to identify segments of our DNA that come from her great grandparents. I kinda like Susan Stanbrough. She’s got lots of descendants

169 years ago today, my great great grandfather George Henry Hine was born in Hamilton County, Indiana (Nov. 27, 1846). He married Susan Stanbrough in 1873, and their first child, a daughter, Addie May Hine (my great grandmother) was born 3 years later. She was followed by five brothers (all of those Hines in Jennings). The family moved to southern Louisiana in 1894 and lived in the Hathaway area. He died on May 3, 1919 and was buried at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in China, Louisiana.
