• Excerpt from "Pioneer Women of the West":^[2]

An aged citizen of Marshall County, Tennessee, often described the appearance of his own father and James Haynes, both prisoners in the hands of the British the night after Gen. Davidson's death at Cowan's Ford. He saw these aged men and many other prisoners driven like sheep into a corn-crib, the door of which was filled with rails, and a sentinel placed over it; and thus without a blanket or fire, they pass a long winter night in 1781...

...He was no less stern and inflexible in his religious principles. When the question of the introduction of the new version of the Psalms was agitated in the Church at Centre Meeting-House, after much debate, it was put to the vote, and Haynes was left alone as the advocate of the old version. His bretheren tauntingly asked him if he was going to stand out alone. He replied "yes, as long as the world stands;" and so he did to the end of his life.

He married Ann Huggins in the year 1746 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and in 1752 they settled in the Catawba Valley of North Carolina. ^[1]
