He was a close friend of President Teddy Roosevelt. Admiral Evans’ father practiced medicine in Virginia. Their mother, Sally Jackson, was from the prominent Jackson family of Fairfax County, Virginia.

Hines had a large farm at Pilot. It was named, “Sunnyside.” He practiced medicine in that area, as did his son, Dr. Brainard Whitfield Hines, my great grandfather. My grandfather, Dr. Oscar Taylor Hines was born there, and so was my father, Brainard Matthews Hines. Gr-Gr Grandfather Michael Hines and Gr Grandfather Brainard Hines are buried alongside other family members at a cemetery within the land property of Ms. Ethel McPeak. I am very grateful to the Historical Society of Floyd County, Virginia for their research of my family.
