Mary/Molly HAINES m. Pardon WORDEN "ca 1784--1790 @ ORANGE [County], NY", according to the Worden Family Association. This fastitious group merely says she was born "abt. 1769" @ ORANGE, NY or SUSSEX, NJ", but does not attempt to name her parents. Another source (which I stupidly forgot to write down!) places her birth at Fairfield Co., CT. This latter source-- or perhaps a third-- suggests her parents were Silas Haines and "Amey", no maiden name given. This Amey/Amy sounds like Amy5 WHITNEY (Samuel4 / Richard3 / John2 / Henry1) who married a Silas Haines. (Their daughter Sarah married James Redfield, but didn't live long: http://home1.gte.net/jfbarlow/REDFIELD.HTML ) Is there any evidence Silas and Amy had a daughter Mary who might be the one described above? If so, it would lead to another John/Henry crossing. Pardon Worden, Jr., married Lucretia7 Whitney (William6 / Thomas5 / William4 / William3 / Joshua2 / John1).
