E. G. HAYNES, farmer, P. O. West Jefferson. A. R. Haynes, father of our subject, was born in Virginia August 30, 1799. At the age of seven years, his parents settled at Chillicothe, Ohio, where both died, and where A. R. remained until 1824, when he went to the State of New York, remaining four years. In the meantime, he married HANNAH BATEHAM, of English birth, who was born in 1809, and emigrated to America in 1825. A. R. and wife reached Ross County, Ohio, in 1829, where he owned a saw-mill and farm. These he superintended, and at the same time conducted his trade – coopering. Thus he continued until 1855, when he located in Franklin County, and, four years later, in Madison County, near Jefferson. He there bought nearly two hundred acres of land, which had been settled many years, although but little improved. He was a robust and hearty man, ready to meet all emergencies. He was industrious, and strictly devoted his attention to farming after reaching Madison County. From the age of twenty-five years to the day of his death, August 3, 1881, he was a close follower of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for the greater part of the time was officially therewith connected. He and wife had twelve children, five of whom died in early life. Seven reached maturity, and six are now living. One lost his life in the late war, at the battle of Guntown, or Brice's Cross Roads, Miss. The subject of this sketch, the second eldest son living, was born July 24, 1838, in Ross County, Ohio. Since 1859, he has been a resident of Madison County. By occupation he is a farmer, and now owns a farm of fifty acres, under good cultivation. He married Miss Rachel Bolds, of London, Ohio, by whom he has one child living, Louie. Mr. and Mrs. Haynes have for the past twenty-seven years both been members of the Methodist Church.
