Owen Hines (Hynes) either traded or gave a horse to the outlaw, Jesse James. I remember my grandfather, John Joseph Hines (grandson of my immigrant ancestor, Owen Hynes), told me this story when I was a child. He said his family and Jesse James were neighbors. I don't know why this stuck with me, but Mary Catherine Hines (the youngest sister of my grandfather, John Joseph Hines) said this is a family story she remembered hearing throughout her childhood; the only difference is that it was a horse and buggy. I know now that my grandfather's family lived in Humphreys County, Tennessee, a place where Jesse James lived under the last name of Howard. The story could very well be true. Interesting that in 1880, my Hines family was listed only a couple of houses from Holly's (my wife) great great grandparents, James Knox Polk and Mary Elizabeth (Latimer) McGee. The McGees were the maternal grandparents of Daddy Hall (Ernest Colvie Hall).
