The Hines family migrated from Wayne County, North Carolina, to the Saulsbury area of Tennessee about 1829. Both James Hines and his son Hiram went to the area, but it has not been determined whether or not they arrived at the same time. Hiram was in Hardeman County, Tennessee, until 1835. He then moved to the Hopewell community of Tippah, now Benton County, Mississippi, which is about eight miles from Saulsbury.
The family owned much land and many slaves, also the cotton gin, general store, stock in the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Company, and other property. There is abundant information on the family in the county records of Benton County, Mississippi, at Ashland. The administration of the will of Hiram Hines, which extended over a period of about thirty years, gives a wealth of information.
