Nancy Hines And Her Story
(Editor's note - The following article is one of a series written on "The Hines Family in Kentucky" by Mrs. Frank P. Moore, Kentucky librarian of Western Teachers College. Additional information on the subject may be obtained from the Kentucky Building records.)
Every descendent of fighting Henry Hines, Sr., will agree and laugh with Tom Wallace of the Louisville Times when he says, "Genealogy is the art of tracing one's ancestry to famous people, without tracing to those not famous, but more numerous."
This history of the Hines family in Kentucky was inspired by the romantic story of one of the most famous Kentuckians, Capt. Thomas Henry Hines. Looking up the ancestors of Thomas Henry, so many other prominent personages appeared, that it seemed necessary to mention them - and alongside these noted ones were the "numerous not so famous," but wonderfully fine citizens, that they could not be passed by. J Adgar Stewart, of Louisville, in his book, "Descendants of Henry Hines, Sr.," says there are "probably 2,000 descendants to be recorded." Mr. Stewart missed his guess by only a few thousand. It is impossible to list every one, but hard to leave out any. So the story continues with Nancy, the third child of John and Sarah Davis Hines.
Nancy was born in 1800, married Clement Adams when she was 18, and died when only 34 years old, the mother of six children. Her granddaughter, Mrs. A.T. (Mary Elizabeth Wiley) Drake, tells the following interesting story of Nancy's death. "Grandmother Nancy was riding on horseback, with her little daughter, Henry Ann, on the horse behind her, to visit her sister, Mary (Polly) Collins. They were riding through a deep woods when a terrific wind and electrical storm came up, uprooting trees and frightening Nancy so terribly that it caused the premature birth of her child and her own death.
Nancy Hines and Clement Adams' six children were:
Mary Jane, who married Alfred Davidson and had three children, two of whom went to Missouri and Virginia.
Henry Ann Adams married, first, a cousin, William Clay Adams, and had two children, Nancy Estelle, (who married Grandy Taylor), and William Clay, Jr. Her second marriage was to Chesterfield Watson Wiley, and many descendants of this union are well-known in Warren county.
The first child was Mary Elizabeth, who married Dr. Alfred T. Drake, and is living today, physically and mentally alert at 91 years of age. Mrs. Drake sings many old and unusual songs and ballads that were sung by her grandmother, Nancy, and her mother, Henry Ann. Dr. John Vincent and the music department at Western hope to persuade Mrs. Drake to make recordings of these old songs, in order that the words and tunes may preserved. Mrs. Drake recalls her great grandfather, John Hines, a few months before his death, "reclining on a handsome mahogany sofa, with bright blue plaid afghan thrown over him, waited on by his servant, Minerva. His hair was very white; I thought he looked very elegant. My mother and sisters rode home from this visit in John Hines' fine carriage, the two horses driven by Frank, one of the Negro servants. The carriage had two seats, facing each other with a separate seat up front for the driver. I rode on the seat facing backward and was very sea-sick. I had never seen or ridden in a carriage before this, as almost everybody rode horseback in those days." Mrs. Drakes children and grandchildren are well known in Bowling Green. Among them are Mrs. Charles W. Spalding, Mrs. Glee T. Hillis, Jesse D. Spalding, Thomas E. Spalding, Harriet Elizabeth Spalding and Charles Alfred Spalding, Mrs. Clarence Vertne Miller, Mrs. Arch H. McFarland, Frank W. Drake, Mrs. Percy Dent, Misses Virginia and Laura Barton Dent, and many others, whose names are included in the family record.
Henry Ann Wiley's other children were Sara Anthelene, who married Thomas Smith; James Henry Wiley; Laura Dean Wiley, who married Samuel Benson Sublett, the mother of our beloved postmaster, Harold Sublett; John C. Wiley, who died young; Samuel Davis (Jeff) Wiley; and Caroline Belle, who married Benjamin Moss Moore.
Among other descendants of Nancy Hines Adams well known locally, are the family of Ely Hines Adams and his sons, John and Motley; John Clay Adams' nine children and their families, including those of Temple Adams Mercer; Nancy Elizabeth Duncan and her descendants, Mrs. Roy M. Daugherty, John A. and Tom Daugherty, Mrs. Allen Jenkins and Allen (Buster) Jenkins.
