BENJAMIN HAYNES
About Me
- Dayton D. Mix
- 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).

William Truman Haynes
William Truman Haynes
I was just looking through some of the entries on Ancestry.com earlier this evening and came across at least 4 references for this Grandpa Haynes of mine (my great-great grandfather). And all four had discrepancies when compared to my records!
First of all, the name: All 4 referred to him as Truman William Haynes.
The only way I've ever heard of him was either as "W.T." or "TRUMAN."
I'll address the rest soon.

I went back to double check the notes I inherited from my great-grandmother, Laura Vivien Meacham Haynes, and she also refers to her father-in-law as William Truman Haynes.
(You can see that document in my April 3, 2010 post by clicking here.)
I'll address the rest soon.

Sharon Center School
PHOTO: Sharon Center School
Today's post is a photo from the Sharon Center School, a one room schoolhouse about 3 miles outside Shinglehouse, PA.
My grandmother, Ethel (Haynes) Mix, is the first girl from the left in the front row. To her left is Paul Gustin. The tall woman in the back row is the teacher.
Anybody know other names? How about the date?
(Gram was born in 1918 and looks to be maybe 7 or 8 (?) so maybe the late 20's? or early 30's?)

Yesterday, we highlighted Grandma Haynes' notes on her family's vital statistics. Today, we get the classic Haynes family photo taken in conjunction with their 60th wedding anniversary in 1970.
