William Hine acknowledged 4 reputed sons, James, John, Daniel and Charles, to whom he left 7 acres of land at Salt Marsh Wharf, and in each case the services during Apprenticeship of one named woman and her children (as he did for his reputed daughter Sarah Earl). He left monetary legacies to be paid from the compensation money when received to these five natural children, to Sarah Hine their mother and to William, another reputed son on Dundee estate. He said that his late uncle, also named William Hine, had left a piece of land on the estate known as Brae to Sarah Hine, who had refused to move there, and he left her instead land at Reserve. He had three daughters (identified as Mary Morris Hine, Eliza Ann Hine and Ann Grace Hine) under the care of Sir John Gordon in Edinburgh, whom he had been supporting with money held by Hartleys of Whitehaven, and he left them the interest on his holding of 31/2% consols and the funds at Hartleys.
