John L. Haynes was born November 25, 1824 in Wayne County, Tennessee to Jonathan Haynes and Harriet Lewis (daughter of Earl Eason Lewis and sister to Claibourn Lewis). He married Matilda C. [--?--] who was born abt. 1822 in Tennessee. John and Matilda had at least one son: D. J. Haynes born abt. 1851 in Tennessee according to the 1860 Tumlinson, Scott, Arkansas census. I believe their son is David J. Haynes who is listed in Matilda's claim to the Southern Claims Commission as a witness to prove facts about her losses; he would have been born in Arkansas not Tennessee since John L. Haynes was in Scott County, Arkansas by 1850 and was not yet married to Matilda at the time of the 1850 census. John joined Co. H 2nd Reg't Arkansas Cavalry during the Civil War and died April 1, 1864 in the hospital at Cassville, , Missouri from typhoid pneumonia. Matilda made a claim for reimbursement of things taken by the Union soldiers during the War to the Southern Claims Commission.
