About Me

My photo
I'm a husband, a dad, a son, a grandson, a pastor, & now a grandpa, too! Those are the basic hats I wear in my daily life. I was born & raised in rural Pennsylvania couple of miles from the New York border in a small town, Shinglehouse (Potter County). I struggle with my weight & my own quirks just like everyone else does. I became a United Methodist pastor in 1996 and was ordained in 2003. While I'm officially Methodist, I also consider myself a “charismatic” Christian, as well as an “evangelical”, although not everything identified with either of those labels fits me perfectly. I enjoy genealogy but seldom have time to do much with it. I like playing with eBay. I like to read, watch movies, camp, hike, and talk. I LOVE to write, but usually don't worry too much about formal grammar... instead choosing to write as I probably would speak. And even though I can spell pretty well, I'm a lousy typist, so be gracious. I update my blogs as often as I can, but I have a real life that demands me NOT being at the computer all the time... so there are dry spells!

Mary Ann Stone Haynes


MARY ANN STONE HAYNES

During the American Bicentennial (1976), my great-grandmother, Laura Vivien Meacham Haynes, first showed me this picture of her husband Earl's paternal grandmother, Mary Ann Stone Haynes.

According to Harold F. Baker's A Journey in Time: 1810-1986, Mary was born around 1819 in New York State. She died in December 1900. She was the second wife of Benjamin Haynes (~1811-1889).
