Other Events and Attributes:

• Religion: Aynhoe, Northamptonshire England; Religion: Society of Friends

Notes:

Richard Haines was the progenitor of the Haines family of Burlington County, New Jersey. Very little is known about him or his life in England. The first record of him is found in Parish Records of St. Michael's Church, Aynhoe, Northamptonshire, when his son Richard was baptized on August 6, 1665. Sometime previous to this date he had married his wife Margaret, and they had at least one other child, John. These events probably did not take place in Aynhoe, as no record of them can be found in the Parish Records. It seems likely that Richard and Margaret located in Aynhoe shortly before the baptism of their son Richard, and before then had lived in one of the neighboring parishes. However, they continued to live in Aynhoe until leaving for America, as is evidenced by the baptism of two of their sons in 1666 and 1672; by the record of the birth of their daughter Mary in 1676, Banbury MM, Oxfordshire, when his residence was given as Aynhoe; and by the deed dated April 21, 1682, in which his residence was given as Aynhoe.
It is not known what variation of the Haynes-Haines name Richard used in England. The records of St. Michael's church show his name as Hains and Haynes. The records of Banbury MM show his name as Haynes. The deed record shows his name as Haines. Some of the early records in America show the name as Haynes. But these variations in spelling may be due to the persons actually writing the records and might not reflect the spelling of the name as used by Richard. It is significant, thought, that all known descendants of Richard have used the spelling Haines, and continue to do so until this day.
Richard and Margaret Haines became members of the Society of Friends sometime during the period 1672-1676. It seems likely that this religious association had some bearing on the decision of Richard Haines, and of John Borton, his fellow townsman, to emigrate from England to America, and undoubtedly it was a contributory factor in deciding where to settle in America.
Richard and Margaret Haines, with their children Richard, Thomas, William and Mary, left Aynhoe of ye Hill in the spring of 1682. They embarked at Gravesend, England, on the 'Amity' -- Richard Diamond, Master -- and sailed from Downs, England, for West Jersey, on April 23, 1682. The trip was long and tedious, as was common in the days of sailing ships. Richard, the father, sickened and died. After his death, another son, Joseph was born on the high seas.
John Haines, oldest son of Richard and Margaret Haines, preceded his parents to America. He accompanied John Borton and family, also of Aynhoe, to America in 1679, and was undoubtedly instrumental in deciding his parents to leave England for America.
Margaret Haines and her family arrived in Burlington, N.J., in the fall of 1682. There is no written record of the hardships encountered by this recently widowed woman with a large family in a strange country. In about two and one-half years, on 3 mo. (May) 6, 1685, a Thomas Gardiner's house, Burlington, under the care of Burlington MM, NJ,J., she married Henry Burcham, of Neshamony, Bucks Co., Pa.
Richard Haines had not made the decision to leave England without making provision for a livelihood in America. West Jeersey, through the influence of William Penn and others, was being settled largely by members of the Society of Friends. Richard Haines was a farmer, or "husbandman," and a man of some means, as he was able to purchase land before leaving for America. He purchased 100 acres of land from Edward Byllynge, recorded as follows: "1682 April 21. Deed Edward Bylling, late of Westminster, gent: to Richard Haines of Anve of ye Hill, Co. of Oxon, husbandman, for 100 acres in West Jersey."

Notes:

Thomas Haines (Richard) farmer, of Northampton Twp., Burlington Co., N. J. bapt. St. Michael's Church, Aynhoe, Northamptionshire, England. Dec 22, 1666; d 1753; m. 1692, under the care of Burlington MM, N.J., Elizabeth Austin, b abt 1663; sister of Francis Austin, the progenitor of the Austin Family of Burlington Co., N. J. Thomas Haines was at liberty to marry on 9 mon. (Nov) 7, 1672, and it is likely that the marriage tok place soon thereafter.
The Haines Ancestry, and other references, give the date of birth of Thomas Haines as 1674, and show him as the fourth son of Richard and Margaret, instead of the third son. It is believed that he was born in 1666, as shown in the Parish Records of Aynhoe, as there was no record of the death of this Thomas and of the birth of another Thomas. One source of error has probably been the 1709 census of Northampton Twp. In this census Thomas is given as aged 33, and his wife Elizabeth is given as aged 46. Since they had been married for 17 years, it seems improbable that he was only 33, and more likely that he was 43, which would agree with the Parish Records of Aynhoe. Besides, he could not have been 33, for his sister Mary would have been 33, and the records of Banbury MM do not show the birth of a Thomas, too, in 1676. Furthermore, he purchased his first tract of land in 1688, and the age of 14 years seems rather young for acquiring land, even though his brother William located land at the age of 17 years.
Thomas Haines accompanied his parents to America, and was nearly 16 years of age upon his arrival in 1682. He became the owner of much valuable property. In 1688 he purchased 100 acres of land from Samuel Jennings; in 1688/9 he located 100 acres of land next to his brother John; in 1693 he purchased 85 acres of land from Samuel Jennings; in 1694 he purchased 200 acres of land from Henry Burr; in 1697/8 he purchased one-thirty-second of a share (about 300 acres of land), from Christopher Wetherill; in 1697 he purchased 300 acres of land from Thomas Brian; in 1703 he purchased 100 acres of land from the Indians; in 1703 he purchased 600 acres of land in Hunterdon Co., N. J., from Samuel Furness, and in the same year he purchased 625 acres of land in Hunterdon Co. from Benjamin Furness.
His will was dated Jan. 17, 1748, and was probated Aug. 30, 1753. An inventory of his personal property, taken Sept. 1, 1753, by Samuel Woolston and James Wills, amounted to (pounds)340:8:10.

Obituary from the Slater News Rustler of Friday, June 1, 1934.
George C. Hains, ex-confederate soldier, died Friday night, May 25, at 9:30 o'clock at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Hubert E. Page, and Mr. Page. He was 90 years, six months and 23 days old.
As quietly and peacefully as he had lived, death came. He had been suffering from hardening of the arteries, and for thirty-six hours prior to his death he had been growing steadily weaker. All of his eleven children were with him at the time of his death except Mrs. R. C. Potter of Superior, Nebraska., who had started, reaching the home at o'clock Saturday morning.
Funeral services were held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Page on Rich Street Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. R. W. Settle, pastor of the Slater Baptist Church. Burial was in the City Cemetery. Pallbearers were five of his sons, R. L. Hains, John C. Hains, W. H. Hains, George W. Hains, R. N. Hains, and a son-in-law, H. E. Page. The flowers were carried by twelve granddaughters.
George Carlisle Hains was born at Jeffersontown, Culpepper County, Virginia, November 2, 1843, son of Simeon Daniel Hains and Matilda Triplet Hains. He was married to Miss Elizabeth McCourt at Barnesville, Ohio, in 1846. They continued to make Barnesville their home until moving to Virginia, where they lived until coming to Missouri fifty-two years ago. A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Hains moved from their farm home near Slater to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Page. Mrs. Hains died October 3, 1930.
Twelve children were born to them. One child, Mrs. Sam H. Hill, passed away several years ago. The surviving children are R. L. Hains, former representative from Saline county and now mayor of Slater, J. C. Hains, postmaster, G. W. Hains, Mrs. V. E. Grimes, Mrs. H. E. Page, Mrs. P. M. Jeter, Miss Minnie Hains of the home, all of Slater; W. W. Hains, R. N. Hains, editor of the Democrat-News, and Mrs. C. L. Grimes of Marshall; and Mrs. R. C. Potter, of Superior, Nebraska. A number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren survive.
All the sons and daughters have always been devoted to their father, but the attention and affection by Miss Minnie has been outstanding and probably unparalleled. Her main interest in life has been the care of her parents and since the death of Mrs. Hains she has been especially attentive to her father and solicitous of his health and welfare.
Mrs. Page by her kindness and care supplemented that of Miss Minnie and the two daughters gave their father every comfort in his last years. Mr. Page by his devotion was like a son and showed a great love for Mr. Hains.
Mr. Hains represented a type of citizenship that is fast passing. He with his wife, found great pleasure in rearing a large family of children and with satisfaction saw them all become good and useful citizens. No greater heritage than this can be left by any man. This he accomplished largely by example, precept and unselfish living.
Mr. Hains joined the Confederate army, when seventeen years old, and served through the four years of conflict between the states. He belonged to the eighth Virginia Regiment of the Piedmont Riflemen, serving under General Longstreet and Col. Eppie Hunter, and was service in the principal engagement in Virginia and surrounding territory.
The deceased was educated in private schools in Virginia. He retained his mental faculties to the last and was able to read to some extent without the aid of glasses, his hearing was acute, and he manifested a keen interest in his children and the affairs of his country.
He had confessed his faith in God and lived his life according to Christian principles.
