Born in Georgia, Hines moved to Texas circa 1850-55. He lived on the Hines Place plantation in Freestone Co., Texas.(Note: Hines is the son-in-law of Brigadier General Joseph Johnson, also of the 19th Texas.)

Hines was originally a volunteer in the Reserve Company, Beat No. 5, in Captain John L. Wortham's Company of the 19th Texas Brigade. In 1863, he joined Captain James Steele's Company, and then in 1865, he joined Captain C.B. Duncan's Company.

Johnson was elected to the office of Brigadier General in 1863. He enlisted in the Confederate Army as a Major. He had served in the Indian Wars in Georgia and Florida, first as a Captain in 1838, then later as a Major in 1846. (Note: Johnson's son-in-law, Major William M. Hines, also served in the 19th Brigade.)

Johnson moved his family to Freestone Co., Texas in 1854, after originally arriving in Brazos Co., Texas in 1848. Johnson owned a 10,550 acre cotton plantation seven miles west of Fairfield (in Freestone Co.), where he built the 'Rock House,' which is still owned by the family today.

Mustered May 10, 1862. Suffered from measles during his service. During one of the many marches, he was so weary, he fell asleep in the rain. His buddies had to wake him for the water was getting dangerously high on his face. He was surrendered at New Orleans on May 26, 1865. His application for a pension was denied because he was not indigent. After the war, he returned to Rusk County, TX where he farmed and operated a mill for making syrup from sugar cane. That mill was still being operated by his grandson (Rade Harper) in the 1960's.

'The Realm of Rusk Co.', by Garland Farmer. P. 60: G. W. Holleman, 40, Rusk County listed as a private in Co. H, 19th Texas Infantry formed by Captain Harvey A. Wallace between May 4 - July 18, 1862. 'Nacogdoches County History' - Dallas Library F483 (Family 483) 'Green Wilson Holleman was captured at the battle in Many, Louisiana and later traded as a prisoner of war and Clinton D. Holleman was killed during the fighting.' Application for veteran benefits indicate he suffered from measles during the war, then suffered from partial blindness afterward.

'The Realm of Rusk County' by Garland Farmer, page 62 shows Private S. Holly, 32, Mt. Enterprise in Captain Harvey A. Wallace's Co. H. 19th TX Infantry organized between May 4 - July 28, 1862.
