Biography
John Haynes was the son of James Haynes, and his wife Ann Huggins. He was born 24 Nov 1759 in Rowan County (part that became Iredell County in 1788), North Carolina. He married Margaret Andrews on 29 Apr 1783 in Rowan County, North Carolina. John & Margaret had ten children: Nancy, Hannah, James Sloan, Andrew, Martha, Griselda, Margaret, John R, David, & Asenath.[1]
John and his family moved to Tennessee in 1806, and later to Cornersville, Giles County. Around 1834, he moved to McCracken County, Kentucky. It is said the area around Cornersville had become so populated, he longed for more elbow room.
According to John's will[2], he deeded 55 rods square of land including a spring for the use of New Hope Presbyterian Church. John Haynes' tombstone is the sole marker in the old cemetery, which is on private property about 12 miles south of Paducah, KY,
