HA YNES Of Sutton Mandeville, Wiltshire, England, and Sudbury, Massachusetts and HIS DESCENDANTS Edited by FRANCES HA YNES Publication Assistant FREDERIC MARSHALL HAYNES 19•9 RECORD PUBLISHING COMPANY HAVERHILL, MASS. TO FREDERIC MARSHALL HAYNES WHOSE ARDUOUS WORK RAISED THE FUNDS AND CONDUCTED THE BUSINESS OF PUBLISHING THIS BOOK AND WHOSE RESEARCH PREPARED SEVERAL OF ITS CHAPTERS THESE RECORDS: ARE GRATEFULLY DEDICATED ACKNOWLEDGMENT The whole Haynes Family owes a debt of gratitude to the late David Francis Haynes of Baltimore, Md., and the late Andrew Mack Haines of Galena, Ills., for these records, that were obtained by their persistent research, and at their expense, for more than twenty years. These records were left to Frank R. Haynes, son of D. F. Haynes, who has loaned them to his sister, Miss Frances Haynes, by whose tireless, painstaking efforts they have been extended to the present day, and put in condition for publishing. The reader will note and realize what a monumental work this has been, as he peruses the fol­ lowing pages. The publication has been made possible by the generous financial assistance of many members of the family, and the work has been approved by Frederic M. Haynes, of Milton, Mass., Prof. George H. Barton, of Cambridge, Mass., Frederick J. Haynes of Detroit, Mich., and Winthrop P. Haynes, Ph.D. of Paris, France. List of those who subscribed to the fund for publishing. Charles H. Haynes.

PREFACE It has been said that "the full genealogy of an American immi­ grant of the seventeenth century is a monumental work, and he in­ deed is a bold genealogist who expects to do more than compile such a work in an ordinary lifetime. Tradition goes for naught, docu­ mentary evidence alone satisfies. This is often difficult, sometimes impossible to procure. The pioneers were too busy clearing land, and fighting Indians and wild beasts, to devote overmuch time to com piling records for a posterity which might never see the light." The Walter Haynes Family is most fortunate in the great care with which Sudbury kept its Vital Records, and Town Meeting Min­ utes. We find there, the early births, deaths and marriages of the family, and a record of service in the community which enables us to form quite an estimate of each man's personality. "December IO, 1641, the General Court appoints Walter Hayne, clerk of the Writs for Sudbury." ( Mass. State Records.) So he no doubt helped to start an accurate, business-like method of recording. Then again, are we fortunate, in the genealogy written by J ohn4 Haynes, b. 1684, a great grandson of W alter1. This gives the record of both the des­ cendants of Walter Haynes and Peter Noyes from their coming to the New World, until about 1771, the death of Phineas Haynes in that year being the latest date recorded. We speak of this record by John 4 Haynes as the "Blue Book." See page 40. The editor has carefully compared all names and dates from these two sources, as well as from the published Vital Records of Sudbury, and other Massachusetts towns, and so accurately did the different Town Clerks, John 4 Haynes in his "Blue Book," and the different copyists do their work, that few variations are found. These few are care­ fully noted. Early in 1879, the late David Francis8 Haynes of Baltimore, ( father of the editor), got in touch with the late Andrew Mack Haines of Galena, Ill. All of the name of Haynes, however spelled, or of whatever branch, owe a debt to Andrew Mack Haines. For over forty years he collected data from every available source, and of every branch of the name, bringing to the task a trained mind, enthusiasm and unflagging industry and perseverance. Though a descendant of Dea. Samuel Haines, who came from Wiltshire, Eng., and settled in Greenland, N. H., in 1635, and whose descendants have been given in the valuable book, "Dea. Samuel Haines and his Des­ cendants," A. M. H. took an interest in every clan of the name. He assured D. F. Haynes that he had the necessary perseverance and IX X PREFACE interest to work up the Walter Haynes line. So D. F. Haynes had everything relating to Hayneses copied from the Sudbury, Wayland, Maynard, Brimfield, Framingham, Natick, Princeton and Billerica ( all in Mass.) Town Records. Also Massachusetts State Reco'rds, Middlesex Co., Mass. Probate Court Records. In some cases Land Records were examined. Cemeteries were searched for names and dates. Then, as some of the family had emigrated to Connecticut, New York State, and Vermont, he had Groton, New London, and Stonington, Conn., Court Records searched. These places, Pawling, N. Y., and localities in Windham Co., Vt., had no Vital Records kept in those days. In some cases even the meagre Court Records were burned or lost. Meantime, Mr. Haynes sent out circular letters, or wrote, to every one of the name whose address he could obtain. In this way valuable family records were secured. Then he and A. M. Haines had research made in England, as will be seen in the chapter on "English Research," page 6. It was Mr. Haynes's wish to compile and publish all this Haynes­ iana. But heavy business cares prevented. Finding the services of a professional genealogist would make expenses greater than any sum he could raise, he let the matter rest awhile. After some years he started his daughter, Frances Haynes, the present editor, to com­ piling. Other demands gave her little time for the work. But off and on, here half a dozen dates, there a score of new names, she has persevered. Our book now contains 5000 names, 1514 being of the name of Haynes. We have I I generations recorded, and seven children o'f the 12th generation. The Family has now spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Nova Scotia to Texas. It will interest our readers to note the wide range of territory separating the following descendants, born the past summer. Doubt­ less there were other births, but only the following were sent in. In Paris, France, Edward Hamilton11 Haynes, son of Winthrop P.10 and Anna H. (Morse) Haynes, was born 6 July 1928. At Springfield, Mass., Robert Stacy11 Haynes, son of Chester W.10 and Helen W. (Stacy) Haynes was born 18 Sept. 1928. At Kokomo, Ind., Robert Edward11 Hillis, son of Bernice10 (Haynes) and Glen R. Hillis, was born 29 June 1928. And at Honolulu, Hawaii, on the 9th of July 1928, was born Edward Lincoln11 Harwood, son of ljarriet10 (Haynes) and Lieut. Edward C. Harwood, U. S. A. So we may truthfully say: "On Walter Haynes' descendants the sun never sets." The compiler is sadly conscious of the shortcomings of her work. But it is a heroic task to get "up-to-the minute" and past records in these hustling days, and to arrange the same. In several cases where the records are most deficient the editor has spent the most time and effort trying to obtain the desired data. But for Frederic Marshall9 Haynes of Milton, we fear these records would never have seen book form. It is, his able and hard work that has raised the funds, and carried out the business side of the project, as well as giving valued advice on editorial matters. We wish to thank for advice, Prof. George H. Barton of Cambridge, PREFACE XI Mass.; for family records, Frederick Haynes Newell, of Washing­ ton; Frederick J. Haynes of Detroit, Mich. ; the late Mrs. Eliza M. Haynes of Bridgeport; Charles S. Haynes of Bridgeport; the late Silas B. Haynes of Still River; Mrs. Grace Haynes Rogers, now of Ocala, Fla.; Miss Effie Haynes of Buckhannon, W. Va.; Miss Ruby Haynes of Victoria Beach, Nova Scotia; the late Mrs. Laurilla Hunt Sanders; and all others who have carefully preserved lengthy lists of names and dates and topied the same for us. Then we most heartily thank all who have subscribed to the publication fund, by whose financial assistance the book has been made possible. Their names have been given on page VIII. In the early days the Hayneses like most of the pioneers seem to have been farmers. But they were also active in public affairs. Later we find many turning to business and industrial and profess­ ional life. There are physicians, clergymen, lawyers, ( one a woman) a few authors, college professors, teachers, scientists, one noted in­ ventor, the late Elwood Haynes. "Whatever may be our attainments we owe much to our inherit­ ance. It makes a difference whether we have iron or water in the blood. It is an incentive that we can trace the iron in the lives of our forefathers." FRANCES HAYNES (No.
