I am trying to find birth, census and ancestry of William Staines. Born in 1822. Not sure where. He immigrated to America and settled in Galveston Texas in December, 1840. I found a christening record for a William Staines in Hatfield, Hertford. Also found a birth record for a William Staines in Gray's -Essex. Don't know if either one is my kinsman. Staines married Anna Maria Smith in 1849 in Galveston. He fathered three children. By 1850's he was signing his name as 'Stines'. He was killed during the Civil War in Louisiana in 1864. Appreciate any and all help. [email protected]
