I am looking for more information on Henry HAYNES that was b. 12-24-1701 in King & Queen Co., VA; m. 1725 to a Mary SMITH and d. 2-2-1784 in Henry Co., VA. 1 of 8 of their children was John HAYNES who married Sarah PHELPS. 1 of 2 of their children was Phelps HAYNES b. 7-4-1770 and married Lucy Hurt. their son, (Col.) Thomas HAYNES was b. 1880 in Olgethorpe, GA and d. 10-20-1882 in Shuqualak, MS.

If you have any other information on this family, I am interested. I am also willing to share what I have on the rest of the family.

Thanks.

Henry Haynes (1701) had the following children: George, Dinah, John, Mary, Henry, Nancy, Parmenas...in no particular order are they listed.

John Haynes married Sarah Phelps, dau. of Col. John Phelps of Va....they had the following children: Jane,1753, who married William Greer (b.1748)[son of Aquilla Greer, 1716/1719]; John, who is to have married twice; Thomas, 1765; Henry, 1767, who married Rebecca Tatum; Phelps, 1770, who married Mary Hart/Hurt; a "debated" dau., Lucy Ann, who very well could have been a dau. of John's brother, George and his wife, Lucy Phelps.

William Greer had at least two of his children, and their families, move to Noxubee County, Ms. Abraham Greer and his children are known to have lived there. Lucy, a dau., had her family move there, by this time she had married into Hudson. The first record found is a guardianship by Frederick Hudson in 1837 for Lucy Sophrona Ragan, Lucy's niece, dau. of Mary Greer and Jerimiah Ragan.

Now the interesting part: Dinah Haynes married Stephen English......there is a Stephen English listed in the early census records of Noxubee County. Most likely not the same one, but most likely "of the same line". George Haynes married Lucy Phelps, suspected to be a sister of Sarah, wife of brother John. Henry Haynes (Jr.) married Sarah Greer, sister to William Greer listed above. Mary Nancy Haynes (Mrs. Lowe) married James Greer, a brother to Sarah and William.

Now, Nancy had married Asa Lowe, he died...however, they had two children, and their dau., Mary "Polly" Lowe, married Asa/Asel Greer, another brother to Sarah, William, and James.

Dinah Haynes and Stephen English had children, one of which was Henry English. He married his first cousin, Betsy Haynes, dau. of Sarah Greer and Henry Haynes, Jr. One of their daughters, Nancy, married a man named William Beasley.

He died in Georgia after a fall from a horse. She never remarried. She will be found in Noxubee County, Ms. This is where the Beasley family of Noxubee County originated. They had children: Elizabeth, Sarah Annie, Mary, Henry O., William, and Caroline. There are records of all being in Noxubee county execpt Caroline who it is believed died in Georgia.

When the Haynes families of Noxubee are seperated out, we will find that they are the sons of Phelps and Henry, and a slight chance of Thomas' children being there exists. These fellows stopped off in Alabama before arriving in Noxubee County.

To make the chase more interesting: Lucy Greer married Frederick Hudson, son of John Hudson and Mary Beasley of Lunenburg Co., Va. It is believed that Mary was an older sister of William, who married Nancy English.

Over in Winston County, Ms. the families of more Greer and Haynes relatives can be found. Don't overlook the neighboring counties.

If you have ties to any of the above lines, please contact us, as we are in contact with others and we can all help each other. God Bless, ear

(COL) Thomas HAYNES was born in 1800. NOT 1880. Thanks!

Phelps Haynes m. Lucy Hunt and their daughter m. John C. Colbert. John C. Colbert was also married to Rebecca Haynes daughter of Henry Haynes and Rebekah Tatum.

Henry also had a son John D. Haynes who had three wives. John D. Haynes had a daughter Sarah Elizabeth Hayens who m. Commodore Porter Colbert half brother of John C. Colbert.

I am a Colbert and a Potts. The Colberts married Potts and the Potts married Hudsons

The Potts were in Winston Co. and the Colberts in Noxubee Co. They didn't marry each other until they were in Bienville Parish LA which was still before the Civil War

There are a number of Moseley/Potts connections. I didn't find a Hattie but get a generation and I'll be I can connect them. I find the following Moseleys in my Potts family:

Amanda Jane Grigg Moseley,
Mourice G. Moseley,
Glenn Moseley
Annie Lee mosely
Mary Montague Mosely

My Grandmother Addie Lou Ellen Potts married George Horace Meacham 10/30/1908 in Arcadia, La Bienville Parish. Her mother was Hattie Mosely born sometime in the late 1800's.

The most likely branch is:

Thomas Potts b. 1669 Eng m. Sarah Burton
I. Ann Potts b. 1735 m. Moses Miller

A. Stephen Miller m. Hannah REbecca Potts

1. John S. Miller m. ? Mosley

2. Sarah Miller m. Dr. Robert Brown

3. Ann Miller m. Samuel Thomas Potts
II. Thomas Potts b. 1738 m. Rebecca Smith

A. Hannah REbecca Potts b. 1782 m. Stephen Miller (above)

Thomas Potts m. (2nd) Margaret Thompson (my line)

B. William Potts b. 1767 m. Martha Nelson (my line)

1. Samuel Thomas POtts b. 1790 m. Ann Miller

(above)

Samuel Thomas Potts m. (2nd) Margaret Swinton

(my line)

I know these people will connect to my Potts. I have over 1000 descendants of Thomas Potts and many in LA. This family include many Browns. My part of the LA family settled in an area known as Liberty Hill and Brush Valley. I just cannot connect your to mine yet, but about one generation back and I am sure they will connect.

Becky,

Thank you so much for responding. Addie Lou Ellen Pots was born March 19, 1892 and died December 31, 1933. Married George Horace Meacham in Arcadia, LA, Bienville Parish on November 1, 1908. They purchased their marriage license October 31, 1908 and it is signed by W. J. Murphy, Clerk District Court. Marriage performed by Rev. W. T. Strain. I believe they were members of the Liberty Bell Baptist Church. Addie's parents were suppose to be Thomas Elisha or Elizha Potts and Hattie Bell Mosley or Moseley. Hattie Bell Mosley is suppose to be a relative of Lettie Bell Potts, Jasper Leander Brown and Savannah Lucindy Bell of Jonesboro, AK.

Is there any help I might be able to give you. Thank you so much.

I recently came across an ancestor named Mary B. Haynes who married Henry H. Thomas. Now I am finding referrence to Mary being daughter of John Haynes, son of Phelps. Would love further info if available. I have searched for years for my husbands Haynes but now have my own. This particular family I had tons of info on but tossed recently finding no link to my husband. Wouldn't you know.
