Thomas was reportedly born 01 Feb 1826 in Philadelphia, though the 1870 census lists Delaware. There is also a connection of some kind to western New Jersey. Both Henry and Thomas worked with steam engines and boilers, usually on sea-/lake-going vessels. Henry married Elizabeth Bickley and had children Mary Elizabeth, Henrietta, Harriet, William Henry, Jessie, Ellen and Elizabeth. (all b. Sandusky, OH) Thomas married Emeline Fox Welsh and had children Jediah Philip, Henry J., John Fox, Thomas Lincoln and George Washington. (all b. Reading, PA) We are interested in any information, clues or assistance in determining the parentage of HENRY and THOMAS HAINES. Thanks for any reply. Wayne, OH.
