Daniel was the son of George Hine and Elizabeth Morris. George and Elizabeth had five children, David, Eliphall, Daniel, Anna, and Philena.
Daniel Hine married Mary Stone. They had a total of eight children: Daniel, Abel, David, Mary, Hezekiah, Elizabeth, Lyman, and Abigail.
From his son, Lyman Hine's obituary:
In 1795, Daniel Hine removed from Old Milford to Warren, Litchfield Co., Connecticut where he resided until 1806, when he emigrated to Ohio, and settled in Johnson, Trumbull County. Here he remained two years and settled his eldest son and namesake, Daniel, and his daughter Elizabeth (Mrs. Bradley). In 1808, with the remainder of his family, he located in Canfield, Mahoning Co., and remained there for two years, and there settled his third son, David. In 1810, with his sons Abel, Hezekiah and Lyman, and his daughters Polly and Abagail, he removed to Shalersville, and there passed the remainder of his days. Upon coming into the township he took up about a thousand acres of land. This quantity of land comprised the farm, north of the center or village of Shalersville, well known as the John George farm, now owned by A.S. Beecher; and a portion of the Sylvester Beecher farm; the farm now owned by Peter Kimes, immediately north of Shalersville center; the farm now owned by Newton A. Hine, immediately south of the village; the Silas Crocker farm, east of the center; the Alex Steward farm, west of the center, now owned by Edward Hine; and the Lyman Hine farm, lying a mile and a half south of the village. This property subsequently passed into the hands of his children, and was by them sold, or still remains among their heirs. After the death of his wife in 1812, Daniel Hine again married, his second wife dying in 1817. He married a third wife, who survived his decease.
From: "The History of the Western Reserve":
Lyman Hine, grandfather of Horace L. was the seventh child and fifth son of Daniel and Mary (Stone) Hine, the former of whom was born in 1750 and the latter in 1754. Daniel Hine died at Shalersville, Portage County, Ohio, September 16, 1828, at the venerable age of 87 years, and in the same place his wife died February 6, 1812, at the age of 58 years. They became the parents of eight children, of whom the last to pass to the life eternal was Lyman, whose name appears at the opening of this paragraph. All of these children were born in historic old Milford, Connecticut, where the family was founded in the early colonial days and where its representatives were found for several generations. In 1795 Daniel hine removed thence to Warren, Litchfield County, Connecticut, where he maintained his residence until 1806, when he immigrated with his family to Ohio and settled in the region retained by his native state and known as the Western Reserve. He located first in Johnson township, Trumbull county, where he remained two years and where he secured land and provided homes for his eldest son, Daniel Jr., and his daughter Elizabeth (Mrs. Bradley). In 1808 this worthy pioneer, animated by the commendable desire of providing for others of his children, removed to Mahoning County, where he secured a tract of land, in Canfield township, where he tarried for two years and made provision for his third son David. In 1810, in company with his sons Abel, Hezekiah and Lyman, and his daughters Polly and Abigail, he removed to Shalersville, Portage County, where he passed the residue of his long and useful life. Upon his arrival in this township he took up about 1,000 acres of government land, lying north of the center, or village of Shalersville, and the old homestead became well known as the John George farm, later being owned by H.S. Beecher and many others. The landed estate was eventually divided, and a considerable portion is still owned by the direct descendants of Daniel Hine, who left his old home in Connecticut and came to the wilds of Ohio in order to make better provision for his children. His unselfish devotion has had ample justification, as has his prescience in regard to the opulent development of the beautiful old Reserve, whither he came as a pioneer and with whose interests he continued to be actively identified until he was summoned from the field of life's mortal endeavors, in the fullness of years and well earned honors.

The landed estate was eventually divided, and a considerable portion is still owned by the direct descendants of Daniel Hine, who left his old home in Connecticut and came to the wilds of Ohio in order to make better provision for his children. His unselfish devotion has had ample justification, as has his prescience in regard to the opulent development of the beautiful old Reserve, whither he came as a pioneer and with whose interests he continued to be actively identified until he was summoned from the field of life's mortal endeavors, in the fullness of years and well earned honors.
