George Hines (15 Feb 1820 - 29 Sep 1904)

The proposed relationship of George Hines as the father of Andrew Hamilton Hines, Clifford Raymond Hines and William Nolan Hines is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between RLB (a descendant of the Clifford Raymond Hines ancestral line) and PH (a descendant of the Andrew Hamilton Hines ancestral line) with a shared segment of 35.89 cM across 3 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between DE (a descendant of the William Nolan Hines ancestral line) and RLB (a descendant of the Clifford Raymond Hines ancestral line) with a shared segment of 37.98 cM across 3 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
