    Notes 
    • July 8, 1994 From the Haynes Genealogy dated 15 February, by James D. Cook, of Cornersville, Tennessee. Mentions that Milton Haynes was a graduate of West Point Military Academy, Class of 1837, and served in the Confiderate States Army, and attained the rake of Lt Col., during the Civil War. He is given credit for information on the Haynes family. Milton compiled a Haynes Family History in about 1850. The MS is located at the Tennesse State Archives, Nashville, Tennessee. Several references to this work have been made in other Family Histories. It has been proposed by Charles Clemson, Lancaster, PA, that the confusion about Joseph/Christopher Haynes, came out of the MS by Milton. See: Notes, on Joseph (Christopher) Haynes for more detail.
