Henry Sines was a son of Major Henry Sines..........
David Sines was the oldest of Henry Sines' sons. He settled in Upshur County, West Virginia about 1870, or sooner. He married Sarah Catherine "Kate" Friend, Henry Friend's oldest daughter.(Note: David's Aunt Eliza, his Uncle William Jonas Sines' wife, was also Kate's Aunt, Eliza being her mother's sister). They raised a very large family of boys and girls.
Children of David and Kate Sines:
(1) Emanuel Sines was the oldest son and was married to Laura Withers of
Eden, West Virginia. I think they had a boy and a girl. I don't know the
girls name, but they called the boy little Lloyd. Emanuel Sines was a
minister of the Gospel. He passed away years ago at about thirty years of
age. His widow Laura, in later years married her brother-in-law, Alexander
Bennett, of Goshen, West Virginia.
