- Not to be confused with Christopher Haynes (b. abt. 1760/64), son of Nicholas Haynes of Botetourt County, Virginia, who married [likely] 1) Alice Vanmetre in 1784 and 2) Ann Young in 1791. Several Ancestry Member Trees have combined the two Christopher Haynes and given him three over-lapping marriages.
Notes
!The book "Richard Haines and his Descendants" Quaker Family of Burlington County, New Jersey since 1682. Compiled by John Wesley Haines, Captain Supply Corps, U.S. Navy (Ret.)
I talked to Margaret Savage, 1234 S. Camino Seco, Tucson, AZ 85710-6531 on 4/18/97. She is fourth gg dau of Eve Hains. She said that Eve's (and Christopher's father) was Johan Christopher Cristoph Heintz of Germany. He founded the Grace Lutheran Church in Winchester, VA. He was a well driller by profession and that he was paid by George Washington to drill a well. She said that Eve first married Matthias Selsor and had several children by him. He was murdered and she later married a John Counts and had six more children by him. A child of hers moved to Kentucky with Christopher. She lived the rest of her life in Russell Co., VA. The Widow Haines remarried a David Monger and lived in Rockingham, VA. She was evidently widowed at a young age.
Petition to Form Russell County - December 1785
The petition of sundry inhabitants of Clinch River, Moccasin Creek, Powells Valley, and others, citizens of Washington County humbly represent that your petitioners are situated from the line of Montgomery as it crosses near the source of the Clinch River, down the same eight miles; thence to the extreme settlements of Powells Valley forty more. The greatest portion of your petitioners have to travel from twenty five miles and some eighty or an hundred; moreover are generally interrupted by Clinch Mountain and the north branch of the Holstein River; the former affording very difficult passes; the latter much danger and difficulty in crossing it in spring and after considerable rains; continuous to its southern bank, a chain of hills almost as difficult as Clinch Mountain; so that great difficulty arises to your Petitioners not only in attending Courts, but Courts Martial. And from the extent of schism between our small settlements make it exceedingly difficult to arrange companies without subjecting some to travel 15 and 20 miles to private mustery. There are two difficulties in the militia law that principally affect your Petitioners.
There are evils small indeed to the feelings we constantly undergo when obliged to leave our helpless families exposed at so very greast distances to obey the laws of our country. And however evident the danger may appear to us will not certainly on our failure of duty plead our excuse. Circumstance alone is sufficient to claim the human respect of the Legislature to remove the grievance. We therefore pray your Honorable House will take our case into consideration and divide the county. We further pray a line may be fixed along Clinch Mountain to the Carolina line; or with the line at present dividing the county into two regiments to the aforesaid Carolina line; then with the said line to Cumberland Mountain including taht existing county between Cumberland Mountain and Montgomery line and Clinch Mountain, or the aforesaid regimental line for the new county and southeast of the said Clinch Mountain remain Washington County; and we your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
