While researching my ancestor George W. Hainline (about 1791-1861, buried Spring Creek Cemetery Sciota McDonough County Illinois), I found a sketch of his grandson (not my ancestor) William C. Hainline in the 1907 History of Illinois and McDonough County Volume 2 page 890 by S.J. Clarke. This is available to view online via Google Books.There is no indication that William C. was in the war.
However, there is another sketch on Wm. H. Hainline (pp 359-360)who is reported to have enlisted at Macomb on 19 April 1861 in Captain Ralston's company. It goes on to say that he served in the Co A 16th Regiment Illinois Volunteers, and was taken prisoner on 20 July, 1864 in the battle of Peach Tree Creek and sent to Andersonville prison for two months. He survived and returned home where he prospered.
Perhaps this is who you are looking for. Many Hainlines seemed to have moved from Kentucky to McDonough County Illinois due to their opposition to slavery (according to the sketch).
Thanks so much for the information you've provided about the German ancestry. My ancestor (George W. Hainline) might be the son of a John Hainline who is said to have come to Kentucky with Daniel Boone. I'm trying to verify this connection and learn more about him.
Hi, Sinclair,
Thank you very much for stopping by to read this story, and for taking the time to share your information about William H. Hainline. I will tuck this away for future research.
