My kin came from patrick County, Virginia and lived in Marion County in the 1820s and early 1830s before moving on to Gasconade County, Missouri. My great-great- grandfather, Eli Haynes, married Mary Branson in the late 1820s, probably in Marion County. I would appreciate any help in finding proof of this event. Also, I've found record that Luster Haynes lived in the county in 1821 and married Mary Carroll there, perhaps as early as 1818. Is there any record of this marriage? He also appears in the 1830 census. Does any one know who this Luster is? Is he the son of Bethany Haynes of Patrick County, Virginia who earlier married Mary Ann Branson? Likewise, Archibald Haynes is listed in the 1830 census. I think this may be Eli's father. Might he too be the son of Bethany? I would like to hear from any one familiar with these families who might help sort out relationships. I'll gladly share what information I have.
