* Is Susan Hines Gibson also Susannah Hines Brannan? From the biographical sketch of Robert Barron, (p. 1244, 1895 Hist. of Butler Co.) grandson of Susan Hines, it is apparent that all of the children of Richard Hines eventually immigrated to America. Susan Hines was married in Ireland to James Gibson, and their daughter Margaret Gibson married David Barron. David left wife Margaret and son Robert Barron in Ireland, came to the U.S. and died in Steubenville, OH. Margaret remarried to George Dixon. Robert Barron came to the U.S. when age 17, (so, about 1849), and shortly went to live with his grandmother Susan Gibson of Worth Twp., Butler Co. Therefore, Susan must have immigrated before 1849. As the biography does not mention his grandfather, it is possible that Susan Hines Gibson immigrated after her husband James Gibson died in Ireland (or,that Robert Barron came to live with her after James Gibson died in the U.S.). In any case, she appears to be a widow. <br> Our ancestor William Brannan married a Susanna Hines, and the question remains whether she was the daughter of Richard Hines. If so, it would be her second marriage. Born in 1776, she would be aged about 73 in 1849, although she may have immigrated much earlier. Was she the 2nd wife of Wm. Brannan and not the father of his children, of did William marry a different Susannah Hines? William and Susanna Brannan are buried together at Wolf Creek cemetery, as is usual for the parents of children to be buried together, when there is more than one spouse.<br>The Wm. Brannan and Richard Hines families do have the connection that Elizabeth Brandon, daughter of Wm. Brannan, married Richard Hines, Jr. If Susannah were a daughter of Richard Hines, then Elizabeth Brandon would be marrying her uncle, which is extremely unlikely. We conclude that this Susannah Hines is not the daughter of Richard, but expect some relationship not yet established. | * Is Susan Hines Gibson also Susannah Hines Brannan?

In the Hines family plot, the large 4-sided stone is broken; the long obelisk section lying to the right of the large marker belongs on top of it, and the smaller finial , atop of the large stone in the photo, belongs at the apex. Both the rounded stones to left and right are inscribed "J. H.", perhaps for Jane Hines, mother and daughter. Two additional small stones to the right are illegible.

Conjecture
- Is Susan Hines Gibson also Susannah Hines Brannan? From the biographical sketch of Robert Barron, (p. 1244, 1895 Hist. of Butler Co.) grandson of Susan Hines, it is apparent that all of the children of Richard Hines eventually immigrated to America. Susan Hines was married in Ireland to James Gibson, and their daughter Margaret Gibson married David Barron. David left wife Margaret and son Robert Barron in Ireland, came to the U.S. and died in Steubenville, OH. Margaret remarried to George Dixon. Robert Barron came to the U.S. when age 17, (so, about 1849), and shortly went to live with his grandmother Susan Gibson of Worth Twp., Butler Co. Therefore, Susan must have immigrated before 1849. As the biography does not mention his grandfather, it is possible that Susan Hines Gibson immigrated after her husband James Gibson died in Ireland (or,that Robert Barron came to live with her after James Gibson died in the U.S.). In any case, she appears to be a widow.
Our ancestor William Brannan married a Susanna Hines, and the question remains whether she was the daughter of Richard Hines. If so, it would be her second marriage. Born in 1776, she would be aged about 73 in 1849, although she may have immigrated much earlier. Was she the 2nd wife of Wm. Brannan and not the father of his children, of did William marry a different Susannah Hines? William and Susanna Brannan are buried together at Wolf Creek cemetery, as is usual for the parents of children to be buried together, when there is more than one spouse.
The Wm. Brannan and Richard Hines families do have the connection that Elizabeth Brandon, daughter of Wm. Brannan, married Richard Hines, Jr. If Susannah were a daughter of Richard Hines, then Elizabeth Brandon would be marrying her uncle, which is extremely unlikely. We conclude that this Susannah Hines is not the daughter of Richard, but expect some relationship not yet established.
- In Hines Genealogies, and on p. 862 of 20th Century History of Butler & Butler Co. it is stated that Richard Hines served in the Revolutionary War, from March 1777 to April 1778 per the Hines Genealogies. If this is true, he came to America alone, fought in the war, and then returned to Ireland for a number of years, if we are to believe the report in The Wimer Family, the 1895 History of Butler County, and the 1850 US Census that his children were all born in Ireland. Richard Hines' children were born in 1772, '74, '76, 1780, and later. He could have been absent from Ireland in 1777-78.
