Rev Haynes was one of the ministers officiating at the constitution of the second attempt at establishing a Baptist congregation in Newport, KY. After the constitution, Haynes was chosen as the church's pastor on 15 Feb 1840.
According to the 1872 history of The First Baptist Church of Newport:
The cause of Christ seemed to prosper for a while. The Church seemed alive, so that, on the following September, at the Association, she reported five additions by baptism and ten by letter, whole number twenty. Elder Haynes was at that time in the vigor of man hood, zealous, energetic and popular. It is supposed that through his efforts mainly the Church was constituted. But his mind at that time seemed to lead him more to the evangelical than the pastoral work. He resigned the pastoral care of the Church May 10th, only having served in that relation three months.
On 3 Nov 1840, Thomas W Haynes married Jane T Alexandretta Buchanan, in Nashville, Tennessee. Mrs. Haynes died 2-1/2 years later, when their only child, daughter Mary Jane, was eight months old.
In 1843, Haynes was in South Carolina, editor of The Carolina Baptist newsletter, and later the first volume of a Baptist encyclopedia. He also published the Southern Baptist newspaper, 1847-1860, in Charleston.
On 14 Jun 1859, Thomas W Haynes married Sarah Mundy (or Munday) in Plainfield, New Jersey. Daughter Pauline was born the following year, and included in the household's New York census in 1860.
The 1870 US Federal Census found Rev Haynes, wife Sarah, and daughter Mary Jane living in West Covington, Kentucky. Mary Jane died, never having married, five years later. Son Paul was noted in the 1880 census, with the family still living in West Covington.
According to his KY death certificate, Rev Haynes was a Baptist preacher. He had lived in Kentucky for twenty years prior to his death from tuberculosis, and was survived by his wife. Prior to living in Kentucky, he had lived in the state of Tennessee. He was to be buried in Newport at Evergreen Cemetery.
