Orrin Eugene Hine (June 28, 1836 – September 19, 1899) was an engineer and U.S. Army Officer who also served as a Republican delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868.
As the American Civil War started, Hine was forced to leave his teaching job in Bowling Green, Kentucky, because of his Unionist views.
Shortly after buying a farm and moving to Fairfax County, Hine donated several acres to nearby African Americans to build a Baptist church, which remains today.
In 1867, Fairfax County voters elected Hine and fellow Union veteran Linus M. Nickerson, who both ran as Republicans to represent them at the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1868.
In 1908, his widow was granted a pension based on his service[7] His son, Spanish–American War veteran, lawyer and railroadman Col. Charles DeLano Hine is buried near them both.
