DANIEL SHINE

Three Shine Brothers



The name of SHINE is found in Ireland, England, and Scotland, but principally in Ireland. It is claimed by a well known author and genealogist that the name Shine is an English name of Saxon origin.

The earliest settlements of the Shine family in America were in Massachusetts, North Carolina and Virginia. In the Genealogical Register of Massachusetts is the name John Shine in 1635. Three brothers from Dublin, Ireland came to North Carolina early in the eighteenth century, about the year 1710. They were Daniel Shine, Francis Shine,and James or John Shine. Daniel settled in New Bern, North Carolina; and the other brother, James or John moved to Virginia.

The brothers sailed from Dublin, but they may have come from the counties of Corlk, Limerick, and Kerry, as Shines for centuries had been seated in those counties of Ireland.

Major Daniel Shine, born about 1690. He married May 15, 1715 to Elizabeth Green, born about 1692 and the daughter of Furnifold Green and Hannah Consolvo Smithwich Green, was one of the three brothers who emigrated from Dublin, Ireland, 1710.

This was dated Feb. 8, 1730 and was witnessed by John Clement and Daniel Shine.
