Descendants of John Caraway Hines

Generation No. 2

2. JOHN HENRY² HINES (JOHN CARAWAY¹) was born June 17, 1857 in Montgomery, Alabama, and died November 16, 1913 in Center, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. He married LOUISIANA VIRGINIA CARTER January 21, 1879 in Grimes City, Texas, daughter of J. CARTER. She was born December 19, 1862 in Grimes City, Texas, and died February 20, 1926 in Asher, Oklahoma.

Notes for JOHN HENRY HINES:
John Henry Hines came to Grimes County, Texas from Pike County, Alabama with his widowed mother around 1878 where they settled with his brother James who had settled there in 1875. Two years later after his marriage to Lou V. they moved from Grimes County to near by Leon County where the family lived for two years. In 1882, they left Leon County, Texas north into Indian Territory, Oklahoma and settled in the community of Wilson, located near the Marshall county line in extreme southeastern corner of what is now Carter County, Oklahoma.
He and Lou V. had a large family and lived here for eighteen years. In 1900, they again moved northward, deeper into the Indian Territory, settling in what is now known as Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma near the town of Pearson. A short time later they moved near Maud. In 1913 John Henry Hines was visiting his daughter Mintie near Ada, when he died at the age of 56. The river was high and they were unable to get his body back to Oak Grove Cemetery near Asher where his wife Lou V. was eventually buried. This is the dressed up version of the reason John and Lou were buried in different cemeteries. According to Thelma Hines, Lou V. kicked John out of the house and wouldn't let him back in and he died on the way to see a doctor in Ada.

Notes for LOUISIANA VIRGINIA CARTER:
According Jimmie Yeats, Lou V. Carter came by her name because she was born in a covered wagon on the line between Louisiana and Virginia as the family migrated from Virginia to Louisanna. The following is according to information given to me by Jimmie Yeats: Lou V. moved with her parents from Louisianna to Texas, settling in Grimes County where she met her future husband. In 1880, she and her husband and daughter moved to Leon County, Texas where they farmed for the next few years. They made their first big move in 1882 when they went north into Indian Territory and settled in a community called Wilson, now called Carter County just southeast of Ardmore. Here the family stayed for about 18 years. At the turn of the century she and her husband moved to Pottawatomie county settling near Pearson and later moving to near Maud where they lived the rest of their lives. John Henry died while visiting Mintie in Ada and was buried in Center Cemetery. Lou V. expressed and interest in having John Henry's remains moved to the Oak Grove Cemetery. An attempt was made to unearth the remains, but the only things found were a handle to the coffin and a thigh bone. The children did not tell their mother this, simply saying the transfer was not possible. The Carter family was of Irish descent according to family legend.
