Hi all! I'm trying to get a line on my Haynes, Reed, and Gamble line (Gamble line newly discovered) and I'm kind of stuck. I could use some tips, esp. those of you who might know what records are available in Franklin County. Jacob Haynes was b. 1800, and was in the 1850 Metal Township Census with his wife Elizabeth (nee Gamble), (his last name was spelled Haines in this census, but spelled Haynes in the 1860 Metal Township Census)and with his kids Mary, Sarah, William, McGinley (who is supposedly named after Amos McGinley, He was the minister of the Lower Path Valley Presbyterian Church, Fannettsburg, PA, and was also in the 1860 Metal Township Census), and my 3rd great grandfather, John Haynes, born 1835/36 in Pa, moved with some of his family to Preston, Pratt County, Kansas, in the late 1800's. John Haynes and his wife Catherine Reed were in the 1860 Franklin County Census from Valley of the Shadow in Fannett Township. Their kids were: Mary Haynes, b. 1857/58, married Gust Leens; Anna Haynes, married John Levens; Jake Haynes, b. 1874 in Illinois, died 1949 in Great Bend, Kansas. Married Linnie Crabbe; and my 2nd great grandfather, Samuel Coons Haynes, b. 1862 in Spring Run, Franklin County, Pa. There might be a relation to a Coons line from Franklin County, and I found a marriage record of a Samuel Coons marrying an Elizabeth Haines, so he could have been named after him if he married into their family. I really don't know where to go from here. Would anyone have any suggestions for me? I have no further information on Catherine's Reed's parents. There were a bunch of Reed in that area, I dont' know what line she belongs to. There is a lot of Gamble information for Pa, but no idea where my Elizabeth fits in. I don't have much experience getting land, census, church, etc. records, so any advice you could give me would be much appreciated! Thanks so much, and Happy New Year Everyone!
