- Joseph (Christopher) HAYNES August 10, 1994, From a letter by Charles R. Clemson, 554 State Street, Lancaster, PA, 17603, to Barbara Hughes, Box 6049, Canyon Lake, CA 92380, dated 9 Nov. 1990. Re: Joseph Haynese NOT Christopher Haynes. Theory based on research of Paulette Haynes, of Anderson, Indiana, that a Haynes family history was compiled by one Col. Milton Haynes (1814-1867), in 1848 or 1850, mentioned Joseph Haynes, but also with the name of Christopher. It is suggested that someone later may have altered the MS by lining out Joseph and writing in Christopher on page one, thereby creating the misapprehension. The family history of Haynes, by Col. Milton Haynes, is located in the Tennessee State Archives, Nashville, TN. There is persuasive argument that Joseph is the proper first name. But, the letter does not mention if Christopher is the proper middle name of our subject. From the Family History of Vey Lenore Sawyer McNally, Idaho Falls, Idaho: Vital records of Massachusetts; N.H Genealogical Records; District of Maine, York County, v9, pg112; Pioneers of Massachusetts, by Charles Henry Pope (1965), pg518; Haynes Eagle, v2, pg 57; Pioneers of York Maine, pg98,99; June 5, 1994, From Noris R. Haynes, Germantown, TN The family history compiled by Bertha Owen Brockman, 2110 Linden St., Pine Bluff, AR. indicates Joseph or Christopher Haynes. From the MS of James D. Cook, dated 15 February 1943, Centersville, Tennessee. Christopher was tall, spare made, six feet tall with blue eyes. Christopher was a dissenting Presbyterian, or non-conformist, then called a Seceder. From the 1745 to 1760, he lived at Harrisburg, PA, where he died and was buried. He was a carpenter by trade. (This statement is probably from the Haynes Family History, by Milton Haynes, 1814-1867. It has appeared in several collections almost verbatim.)
- Joseph Haynes baptized 18 October 1683 Salem Village was named in his father's will dated 1709. He was perhaps a Private in Captain Rumsey's Colonial Militia in 1715. He was named in his brother Benjamin's 1723 will as owning land in Mannington (Salem County) New Jersey. A deed was made in 1732 for 500 acres in Mannington to Joseph Haynes and later sold to Hance Bilderbeck but apparently was never recorded. The last official record was possibly when he acted as a witness in 1742.
