Hiram Haynie

There seems to have been two Hiram Haynies around at the time. There is a record of a Hiram Haynie marrying Millicent Hays in Northumberland in 1822, but I don't think they are related. Both Hiram Haynies are listed in the 1820 census in Northumberland. Household members in the one I believe to be a match were; one male 10-15, one male 26-44, one female under 10 and two females 16-25. Two slaves were listed; one female under 14 and one female 14-25. The other Haynie family listed many more children and 19 total slaves.

There are records for Hiram Haynie in the Northumberland Militia during the War of 1812, but at this point it is unknown which Hiram served.

In 1830 the only Hiram Haynie listed in the area was in Richmond county. Household members were; one male under 5, two males 5-9, one male 15-19, one male 30-39, one female 10-14, one female 20-29 and one female 30-39. No slaves listed.

In 1840 there is a Hiram Haynie listed in Northumberland, but he does not appear to match. Our Hiram Haynie probably died before 1850 or even before 1840. In the 1850 census year Rebecca is listed as living with her son Joseph.

Hiram Haynie is our ancestor along two lines. When John Elbert Bush and Maida Ruth Haynie married in 1922 they were 3rd cousins once removed. John was a descendant of Hiram's daughter, Nancy, who married Urbane Bush. Maida was great-granddaughter of Hiram's son, Joseph.
