William Francis Shine was born in 1835 at Talahassee Florida to Captain R A Shine, a building contracter, member of City Council and a Conservative Whig.

Young William studied at the Tallahassee Seminary.

He served as a wartime surgeon. Military records indicate that his initial service was with the 1st Florida Battalion.

His next assignment in September of 1862 was to the 7th SC Infantry. He resigned from this position in April of 1863 but on July 20th 1863 was assigned as the surgeon of the Phillips Legion Infantry Battalion.

Entries in July of 1864 show him as the senior surgeon of Wofford's brigade (of which the Legion was a part).

William married Maria Jefferson Eppes. Their only child, Francis Eppes Shine, was born in 1871 and also became a doctor.
