I am seeking info on my great grandfather Henry HAYNES (born abt 1870-1876) in Caddo, Louisiana, possibly Harrison Texas. He married Eugenia Pierce. Henry HAYNES died in 1927. Have tried in vain for years to locate a death certificate. He is buried in Republican Baptist Church cemetery which is right next to the chruch. Tried to contact the chruch but the letter was returned because the address was too rural.  If anyone knows of this church and could help me find a burial record, person to call, I would appreciate it. Henry had a sister Sally HAYNES (Hanes, Haines, Hains) who was born in the 1870s, also brothers Sam, George, and Fred, birthdates unknown.  Henry Haynes parents may have been Kitty and Powell Haynes (cant find them in the soundex for any census years) they may have died young and thus deceased by the 1880 census. Sally HAYNES marr Charles White and had daughters Jeffra Johnson who had a son Henry McIvy aka Henry Haynes aka Henry Johnson; and daughter Fannie White who married Sid Prymus.

Would any of these be your Henry Haynes?

Henry Hayneses are as thick as ticks on a dog's back. One was in the Republic of Texas Government. My great grandfather was named Henry Haynes Hudson after his Henry Haynes ancestor. I hope you can find the right one. - Philip Hudson hudsonpw@ev1.net
