- Contribution by Donald Damon Hines, January 1, 2018:
I’m not sure if [the marriage] broke up per se, as in divorced, or if he [William Henry Hines] just tried to survive and earn a living by any means he could. I’ve found no record of a divorce and in the 1880 census William is listed as married. While working on another farm he could have been sending money to her, while she continued to live with her parents and raise her son in better living conditions. Obviously one has to wonder why EE Crane didn’t directly help William Henry, but William’s pride could always have been a factor.
There could be an entirely different story too that would explain the separation, but it involves explaining Y-DNA testing and what I’ve uncovered to date which strongly implies WL was not William Henry’s son or William Henry was not Caleb Hines’ son. Both are possible at this point Caleb and his wife adopted his wife’s youngest sister when their parents died (proof in the Library of VA). Nothing has been found for William Henry, but many records were decimated during the Civil War.
Alternatively, Ann could have fooled around with someone closer to her own age or her brother-in-law (William Henry Deitz – a likely scenario given DNA evidence) resulting in WL’s conception. Hard for a marriage to survive under such circumstances. Another strange thing is Aunt Dell (Della Daisy Hines) listing WL’s father as being born in England on his death certificate – strange, but also possible.
