CRAMER, HAINES, HAYNES posted by Ethel Haines on Monday, February 2, 1998

Researching John C. HAYNES/HAINES b 28 Jan 1815 in PA; married Margaret E. CRAMER in 1835.  Family in Monongalia WV from abt 1836-1854 and then moved on to KY, OH, and other areas. "Virginia Valley Records" by Wayland lists land owners in Rockingham Co. in 1789:  Casper, Peter, Jonas, John, Frederick.  As I have not found siblings of John C.'s, and he has ch named Casper, Peter, Jonas, and John, perhaps there is a connection that will assist me.  Also, a Rockingham marriage lists George Haugh and Christina Haines m Dec 1824. I also have a Christina and a Christiana. Would very much appreciate some comments/ideas from Haines researchers.

MAY posted by John May on Monday, February 9, 1998

There is a strong possibility that Daniel May b. ca 1778 came from this part of Virginia. Daniel moved to Fairfield County Ohio in and around 1803 with his wife TACY b ca 1776 maiden name unknown. It could have been before that but his first daughter was born that year. It is my understanding that several May's have history in this area and many people from this area migrated to Fairfield County Ohio. Looking for any possibilities on May Family Connections. I have considerable information on Daniel & Tacy's descendants.
