Fellow Researchers, I found this tonight in Genforum, listed under HAYNES.

SC Dec 1833, my gg grandfather, Thomas HAYNES, s/o James G. HAYNES, at the Estate Sale of personal property of John RAINWATER, dec'd, bought for $3.50 the "Large Family Bible" John RAINWATER and wife Susannah were parents of Rebecca RAINWATER who married James G. HAYNES. and Jane RAINWATER who married John FORTENBERRY. Thomas HAYNES, b. 1805 in SC, married Margaret FORTENBERRY d/o John FORTENBERRY and Jane RAINWATER. Thomas HAYNES died 27 Feb 1880 in Hart Co. GA and is buried in the Sardis Baptist Church Cemetery there. At the time of his death, he was living with his youngest daughter, Mary Ann HAYNES, who was married to John M. NEESE, all living in Hart Co. GA at that time. The JOHN RAINWATER "Large Family Bible", which I feel sure must contain valuable information on the RAINWATER and allied families, may still be in the possession of any of the children/descendants of Thomas HAYNES. Since he was living with his daughter, Mary Ann HAYNES NEESE at the time of his death, it may be in the possession of one of the John M. NEESE descendants. If anyone has any knowledge of the whereabouts of the JOHN RAINWATER "Large Family Bible" please contact me, John L. Haynes via email or tel 907 337-1925 or fax 907 337-1926. Any lead will be greatly appreciated. John Haynes, Anchorage, Alaska
