John HAYNES was born 24 Nov 1769 in Rowan County, North Carolina, was a resident of that county when he enlisted and married in Rowan, Margaret ANDREWS (marriage bond 29 Apr 1783). Margaret was born 9 Aug 1763. In 1807, they moved from Rowan to Williamson County, Tennessee for three years, then to Giles County where he applied for his pension on 27 Aug 1832. In 1835, he moved to McCracken County, Kentucky because a son and a son-in-law lived there. He died there 25 Oct 1838 and on 13 Apr 1846, his widow applied for her pension in Knox County, Illinois while living with her son, Reverend Cryus HAYNES. In 1847, she moved to Ballard County, Kentucky, but by 1849 was again living in Giles County, Tennessee. Their children are named in her pension declaration, and her late husband's brother, Joseph HAYNES was in Marshall County, Tennessee when he made a declaration in 1840. Her brother, James ANDREWS, was residing in Giles County when he made his declaration in her behalf (1840 Giles County Census, p. 122), and a George ANDRES [sic] of Rowan in 1840 and a Milton A. HAYNES of Giles were mentioned, but the relationship was not stated. (Revolutionary War Pension file W27) Margaret ANDREWS Haynes, age 87, born Tennessee [sic] was in the 1850 Giles County Census District 17 dwelling of her son, James T.

Prof. W. A. HAYNES, A.B., B.D. is a native of Cornersville, Giles County, Tenn., born in 1834, and the son of David and Rebecca (Warren) Haynes. The father was born in 1800, in Giles County, Tenn., was of Irish extraction and a farmer by occupation. He remained in his native county until about 1840, when he moved to Kentucky, and then to Illinois, where East St. Louis now is. He died in 1848. His wife was born in Bedford County, Tenn., in 1808 and died in 1845. They had nine children (seven of whom are living), our subject being the fourth. He was quite young when his parents died, leaving him to care for himself. At the age of seventeen he entered the Cumberland University, at Lebanon, Tenn., and completed the full course, both literary and theological. He graduated in 1859 as A.B. and B.D. During the civil war he enlisted in Company C, Eighteenth Regiment Tennessee Infantry, CSA and at the time of the reorganization he was transferred to Company C, Thirteenth Regiment, and was elected chaplain of the company. At the end of the first year, Prof. Haynes returned home and he and J. D. Kirkpatrick organized Company C, Bennett's regiment, J. D. Kirkpatrick being elected captain and Prof. Haynes first lieutenant. He took part in seventeen battles, and at Hartsville was wounded in the right arm, which disabled him for three years. He remained, however, in service until the close of the war, when he returned and entered the teacher's profession at Laquard's where he taught three years. December 30, 1866, he married Miss Mittie Cowen, a native of Wilson County, born in 1830, and the daughter of James Cowen. They had four children: Sallie, Docia (deceased), Katie and Pearl. In 1867 Prof. Haynes moved to Brownsville, W. Tenn., and was elected principal of the Brownsville Male Academy, where he remained ten years, with the exception of one year, when he was in charge of the Baptist Female College. In 1877 he came to Gallatin and the same year was elected president of the Howard Female College and held the position five years. During his years of teaching the Professor has also had charge of churches of his faith, the Cumberland Presbyterian doctrine. For the past nine years he had conducted services in Beach Church, ten miles west of Chattanooga. It has the largest attendance of any church in Sumner County. Prof. Haynes is a fine scholar and an eloquent and forcible speaker. He is a Democrat in politics, but was a Whig previous to the war, voting for Fillmore in 1856. He is a member of the following orders: Masonic, I.O.O.F., K. of P., K. of H., L. and K of H., Iron Hall and the G.T. His grandfather, John Haynes, was a native of North Carolina and immigrated to Giles County about 1800. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
