Notes

There is a quote on [http://genforum.genealogy.com/monger/messages/311.html] taken from a four page "Sketch of the Haynes Family: A Sketch of the Genealogy of Christopher Hayne" by William Washington Hayes, from the genealogy file at the George State Archives, written c. 1885, provided to the library by William Washington Haynes' granddaughter, Almeda Haynes Chrenshaw. The quote is as follows (the contents of this sketch are not considered to be accurate -- this is only a recap of what the sketch says): Christopher Haynes, the emigrant from England, arrived about 1740 ro 1742 with a military man, General Mulinburg (sic). After his assignment with the General ended, he became an importer in Philadelphia in 1748. He died in 1763; his partners took the business and left his wife destitute. His widow died a few months later and the three children were bound out, as was the order of the orphan children in the Lutheran church. The eldest son, Christopher, according to this sketch, was bound out and became a locksmith and machinist. He reportedly moved to Kentucky and had a large family. Second son, George Haynes, was bound out to a German family and was taken to Winchester, VA, where he "was there cruelly treated by his godmother." At age 19, in 1776, he volunteered and joined the revolutionary forces. After the war's end, according to this history, he returned to Winchester, VA, and married Miss. Margaret McInturff. The daughter, Eva Haynes, married a Selsor in West Virginia, according to this sketch. ---------------- Lonnie's thoughts: Many people have read Christopher Haynes's pension testimony where he states that he had spent time at his step-father's house, David Maunger's, as meaning that his mother remarried. Many people have searched for a marriage record of a widow Haynes and David Maunger without success. The above sketch may be the key -- perhaps Christopher, George and Eva were orphaned, and he was assigned to another family -- presumably that of David Maunger -- to be raised. He refers to him as his step-father, but there was never any marriage to his mother. The flaw with this is that if Christopher Jr. was in fact assigned to a family to be raised, David Monger would have been the same as as Christopher (Jr.). Most people identify David Monger as b. c1756.
