lows the profession of engineer; and Scott, residing near Poland, who is engaged in farming.
Although he never took any active part in politics, at various times, as the pressing de- mands of his business permitted him, he ac- cepted civic offices at the hands of his fellow- citizens, as he was ever a man of public spirit and in every laudable way he strove to pro- mote the city's prosperity and help in her sub- stantial advancement. He lived to see many changes brought about and to realize that his efforts in various directions were bearing fruit. Springing from the lower walks of life and from boyhood reared in a school of adversity and stern experience, through his own indomi- table spirit he was able to surmount all diffi- culties and win enduring remembrance. The tunes, nor assist him in those early accomplish- record of both his private and business life, is written as that of an honorable, able man of genius, whose virtues were those of a good citizen who loved family, friends, home and country.

HE HINE FAMILY. Pride of ances- try has its place with other family virtues. To know not only one's grandfather, but to be able to trace an unbroken ancestral line for centu- ries back, its generations being marked by men and women whose existence left an impress, arouses a noble sentiment that makes a still further record of their lives a matter of deep moment, a fitting tribute from their grateful descendants. The Hine family, of Mahoning County, identified as it is, by marriage connec- tions, with other old and honorable families, in various sections of the country, occupies a very conspicuous position as to ancestry, and to noting its direct line with its resulting branches, the following pages are dedicated. The present representatives of this family trace back, through Samuel, Abraham Skinner and Homer Hubbell Hine, to Homer, to Noble, to James, to Samuel, to Thomas Hine, the founder.
The first record of the Hine family in America is found at Milford, Connecticut, the name being variously spelled Hinde, Hinds and Hine. Thomas Hine is recorded as being a resident at Milford, January 28, 1646, and his name may to this day be read on the me- morial bridge at that place. Thomas Hine, in all probability, came from England, as Mil- ford was an English settlement, and it doubt- less was this same Thomas Hine, whose hu- mane rescue of an Indian captive won the grat- itude of the Mohawks and proved to be the savior of the village from further attacks of the savages. This incident is related in Hol- lister's History of Connecticut in the follow- ing words :
"A company of Mohawks came within the borders of the town and secreted themselves
in a swamp, where they waited to make an attack upon the Milford Indians, the Pequots. Some Englishmen saw the Mohawks and were friendly enough to inform their swarthy neigh- bors of their danger. They immediately ral- lied in great numbers, raised the war whoop and rushing suddenly upon the Mohawks, gained complete victory. Among the prisoners was a stout Mohawk warrior whom the cap- tors decided to kill by famine and torture. They stripped him naked, and having tied him to a stake, left him in the tall grass of the salt meadows to be eaten up by the mosquitoes. An Englishman named Hine, who found the poor wretch in this deplorable condition, shocked at the barbarous mode of torture, cut the thongs from his limbs and set him at lib- erty. He then invited him to his house, gave him food and helped him to escape. This kind act was never forgotten by the Mohawks. They treated the English of Milford ever after with marked civility and did many kind and friendly acts that testified their gratitude towards their deliverer and his family." An- other authority records that for this good act "the Indians believed the Great Spirit would always watch over and protect the good white face and his posterity."
The will of Thomas Hine was made in 1694.
The name of Thomas Hine's wife was Elizabeth and they had ten children : Thomas, born October 31, 1653; John, born March 7, 1656; Samuel (I), born December 3, 1657; Samuel (2), born January 26, 1659-60; George, born June 22, 1662, buried January, 1673; Stephen, born October 25, 1663; Ealos (Alice), born December 16, 1667, married Canfield; William, born August 15, 1670, bap- tized September 24, 1670; George (2), born June 29, 1673, baptized July 6, 1673; and Elizabeth, born November 21, 1669, married Simkins.
(II) Samuel Hine, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Hine, was born January 26, 1659- 60, was on the tax list of Milford in 1712, and deeded land there to his son William in 1729, and purchased land in New Milford, but made

In 1741 he was on the committee to take charge of the government bridge across the Housatonic river, and to order the affairs. He was a delegate to the General Assembly from New Milford in 1748.
