Biography

Lucy Foster Hines was the daughter of Henry & Mary Foster Evans Hines of Virginia. ^[1]Lucy was the youngest Hines child and petted favorite of the family. Her grandfather fought under Greene in the Revolution, and her father fought in the war of 1812.

Marriage

Lucy married Isaac Mundy on July 14, 1836 in Patrick, Virginia. ^[2]and together they had ten children.

Isaac Mundy and his wife Lucy Foster Hines Mundy, came from Patrick County, Virginia by wagon train to Westport, Missouri in 1836. They were accompanied by two slaves, George and Ruth, given to them by Lucy's father, Henry Hines, a plantation owner.

When Isaac and his family first came to the area, they found shelter at the Methodist Delaware Indian Mission, but soon thereafter a log cabin was built for them, behind the church. [The White Church in present Kansas, City, Kansas]

According to a letter dated January 29, 1842 from Fort Leavenworth Indian Agent Richard Cummins, Isaac was nominated to be blacksmith for the Delawares in Kansas Indian Territory. His first assistant was to be Powhatan Phifer. They moved from Westport sometime that year and continued to live and work among the Delaware until Isaac's death in February, 1858. Some records suggest he was also a paymaster and supervised a government farm near Fort Leavenworth.

In 1858 Isaac, age 43, was killed by the accidental discharge of his own gun while he was hunting with Delaware friends. The Delaware honored him by burying him in their cemetery at White Church beside Chief Ketchum in Kansas City, Kansas. The inscription on Isaac's tombstone reads, "A man among a thousand distinguished for his integrity, his piety and his extensive influence in the community."

In 1859, with the help of Delaware friends, Lucy, her seven surviving children, slaves George & Ruth and probably their three children, moved to Weston, Missouri.^[3]
