FAMILY TREE

DESCENDANTS of POMPEY B. HINES

" Your complexion may be light, medium, or dark
Your hair may be kinky,curly, or straight
Your religion may be Muslim, Catholic, or Baptist
As you can see, we are a very diverse group
Yet we have one thing in common
We are the descendants of Pompey B. Hines
We are one, We are Family "
Bud Hines


Our Family is like that of an acorn that was left unattended in a field of tall grass, it has been trampled on and moved around a bit . The winter was harsh and yet it endured but now its spring and the showers are nourishment, the sun is warm with the colors of the rainbow. A root sprouts and takes hold in the moist soil, a stem appears and reaches for the sky , a tree is born . It is not any tree it's an oak tree.

Pompey was born a slave after the civil War, life was a little unsettling, he moved around a bit, the 1870 Census revealed in Willie , Ga., a small farming community in Liberty County Ga.. and this is where he put his roots down, this is where our family tree starts to grow .

Like an Oak tree our family is deeply rooted in Christianity , it is faith that guided Pompey, Ellen, and Della Ball to produce 17 branches to our tree. There are more than 800 Descendants of Pompey B. Hines .
