Children of JOHN HINES and ANNA CANAVAN are:
4. i. ANTHONY3 HINES, b. November 09, 1879, Ireland;
d. January 29, 1944, S. Fayette Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
(The photo to the right is the WWI draft registration card of Anthony, dated 9/12/18. Here his birth date is listed as November 9, 1877. He is living at West 19th Street in Erie, PA and is employed by Erie Forge Company. His next of kin is listed as Ann Hines, Walkerville, PA. He has brown hair and blue eyes.)
ii. MARY HINES, b. Abt. 1881; d. October 13, 1954; m. JACOB G. HEASLEY, 1911; b. Abt. 1877.
Notes for MARY HINES:
Although Mary had no children of her own, she often sacrificed to care for her nephews and nieces, sending clothing to her sister Ella's children. She cared for her brother Anthony's son, Anthony, although her husband Jacob objected.
Mary was known as May by her family. According to Irene O'Rourke Toney, it was May who changed several of the girl's names, stating that they all sounded like they just got off the boat. So, Mary became May, Ellen became Ella, Kathleen became Kitty and Nora became Irene. There is some confusion about Marion's name - she was called Della by the family, but Irene Toney believes she was named Bridget when she was born. (It turns out that she was born Delia)
Notes for JACOB G. HEASLEY:
1920 Census, January 21, 1920, Ward 26: 3208 East St., Pittsburgh, Pa. (North Side) Jake G. Heasley, 43, driller for an oil company is living with wife, Mary, 38. They rent their home. Both Mary and Jake state they were born in Pennsylvania. Mary's parents were born in Ireland. Also in the household is Earl Hines, cousin, 14 years old, father born in Ireland, mother born in Pennsylvania. (ED 735, Page 15). Earl Hines is probably Mary's nephew, Anthony F. Hines, the son of her older brother, Anthony.
1930 Census: Herman Road, Summit Township, Butler County, PA. Jacob G. and Mary T (or F) Heasley own their own home, worth $2500. Jacob's occupation is laborer, odd jobs. Jacob is 52; Mary is 50. They were married at the ages of 33 and 31.
iii. KATHLEEN HINES, b. Abt. 1883; d. Arizona; m. UNKNOWN DARLING.
Notes for KATHLEEN HINES:
Kathleen (Kitty) married a man names Darling in Pittsburgh. His health was poor and they moved, first to Kansas, then to Arizona. After her husband's death, Kitty remarried in Arizona. Irene Toney believes that she never had children. Her nephew, Anthony, kept in touch with her, and visited her at least once, in Kansas.
5. iv. ELLA (ELLEN) HINES, b. June 02, 1884, Schenectady, NY; d. February 19, 1964, Leechburg, PA.
v. MICHAEL HINES, b. April 1885, Pennsylvania.
The family of Michael completely lost touch with him and had no further information on him. However, the following information was found in census and vital records at Ancestry.com:
1900 Federal Census: Michael Heinz, 15 years old, born in Pa, parents born in Ireland, is boarding at the home of Mary O'Malley on Keystone Street (located between Allegheny Cemetery and Butler St. in Lawrenceville) in Pittsburgh's 18th Ward. He is employed as a rivet heater; can read and write.
(The photo to the left is the WWI draft registration card of Michael, dated 9/12/18. Here his birth date is listed as July 28, 1885. He is living at Hickory Street in Erie, PA and is employed by Erie Forge Company. His next of kin is listed as Anna Hines, 3212 East St, Allegheny, PA. He has brown hair and blue eyes.)

vi. ANNA HINES, b. Abt. 1886; d. 1904.
vii. MARION W. (DELIA) HINES, b. July 17, 1887, Chittenango, Madison County, New York; d. June 09, 1981, Narberth, Penn Valley, Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, PA; m. VICTOR C. STEENGRAFE; b. December 13, 1887, Brooklyn, New York; d. March 1968, Narberth, PA.
Notes for MARION W. (DELIA) HINES:
According to Irene Toney, Marion was born Bridget Hines and was called Della by the family. (St. Paul's Orphan Asylum records list her as Delia.) Marion was employed as a companion in a Quaker household, where she met Victor Steengrafe, whose family was in the shipbuilding industry. She occasionally kept in touch with her sister Mary, sending a letter or card once or twice a year. Her nephew, Anthony Hines, after WWII, went to visit her unannounced in the Philadelphia area, but was treated quite coldly by her. (His perception, of course)

Victor is a salesman of paper and boxes. This would probably be the Robert Gair Company listed on his SS application, as it was a paper and box company. So, Victor would have married Marion Hines sometime in the '30s.

1910 Census, Pittsburgh, PA: Frank and family lived at 5604 Dresden Alley, Pittsburgh, PA. (Lawrenceville Section, Ward 18, ED4??, Page16a). Frank works as a laborer in a mill. The image is very poor, making it difficult to read. It looks like he came to the US in 1882 or 1888. He and Winifred have had 8 children, all living. The eldest child, Bridget, is working, but the place is too blurred to read.
In the 1920 Census, the family is living at the same address. Frank is a laborer in a steel mill. Here it looks like he came to the US in 1884. He was a naturalized citizen, but the date is too blurred to read. Winifred, also born in Ireland, appears to have come to the US in 1888(?) and was naturalized in 1890. Barbara is a clerk in a department store. John is a laborer in a steel mill.
In the 1930 Census, Frank Hines owns his home at 5604 Dresden Way. It is valued at $3000.00. Sons John, Martin and Edward are living at home.
