Hester Fort Jackson (oldest daughter, I think, of John Jackson and Mary Cook) m 15 May 1817 Warren Co KY to Judge John
"Pleasant" Hines, s/o John Hines and Sarah Davis (m 19 Mar 1795 Charlotte Co), s/o Henry Hines and Dorcus Kelly. Henry Hines d. 1810 Charlotte Co.
Dorcus had died earlier, and Henry had married 2. Elizabeth Harvey, d/o Thomas Harvey and Barbara Walton (sister of Mary Polly Harvey m Ralph T jackson 1804 Charlotte Co VA). I'm not sure when Elizabeth and Henry were married, though by 1810, she had 4 children by Henry- (SimeonWalton, Barbara Walton, Nancy Walton, and Walton Henry- she wanted everyone to know who her
grandparents were, I suppose). Shortly after Henry's death, she married Lewis jackson (1811) and they also moved to Boyle Co KY. I don't think there were children by Lewis Jackson, though many of the Hines children had children named Lewis jackson _. Lewis jackson was the brother of Ralph Jackson (Lewis, Ralph, Ralph). It goes round and round.

There were apparently three more wives after the death of Hester Jackson.
Pleasant Hines married Sarah Rivers (Lucas) Gatton, 18 Oct 1832, Warren, KY. Children Sarah Jane and John P. Hines would have had to have been hers.
He married Lucy Colgan, 15 Jan 1848, Warren, KY
And then Tabitha Adams (Russell) Crumbaugh, 25 Jul 1849.

William married Tabitha A. Crumbaugh (1801-1878). Both William Pleasant and Tabitha died in Warren Co and are on the 1880 Mortality census - she died in Dec of 1879, not 1878; he died Feb of 1880.

Note: it appears that William H. is Tabitha's child although she seems to be past childbearing age. He could have been Lucy's child - perhaps she died in childbirth.

From "A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians, Volume 3," by E. Polk Johnson, 1912, Lewis Publishing Company:

"In the spring of 1803 John Hines, with his wife and four children, and the worldly goods he had accumulated, left Campbell county, Virginia, in covered wagons, and slowly made their way through Cumberland Gap and over the wilderness road, until they reached the lowlands of Kentucky, when they turned their course toward the setting sun. They arrived in Warren county in the early part of June, and stopped for their noon meal in the beautiful valley near where the town of Smith's Grove is now located. Judge Pleasant Hines, the oldest son of John Hines, who was then in his sixth year, has been heard to relate how he hurried through his dinner that day, so that he could gather the delicious wild strawberries with which the vast plain around them abounded, as far as the eye could see. At that time this immediate section was one vast prairie, extending from Barren county, through Warren, Simpson, Logan, Todd, and Christian counties, on to the Cumberland River.

But to go back to those wild strawberries; the little fellow soon gathered his hat full, and setting it in one of the paths around him, proceeded to select the choicest ones and eat his fill of this queen of fruits, until the signal was given for the wagon train to start, when he looked about him for his hat, but to his dismay and sorrow he could not find it, and was compelled to hurry to catch the moving wagons.

Late that afternoon the train reached Bowling Green, a straggling little village on the bank of Barren River, located at the foot of what is now State Street; the colored public school being now on what was then the Public Square. The town was afterwards moved about a mile southwest to its present location, on account of several splendid springs of water in that vicinity. That night the movers camped about where the Wilkins property is situated, on the corner of Center and Tenth streets. The next morning before breakfast, John Hines is said to have killed a deer with his rifle."
