Notes:

From "History of the Town of Middleboro:"
Page 476: (His picture appears in the Middleboro History book with these words: Ministry of Rev. Ebenezer Hinds, 1753-93) "Ebenezer Hinds was born in Bridgewater, July 29, 1719, and was at one time a member of the Second Baptist Church in Boston. During his ministry a revival of religion occurred, whereby this church was increased to one hundred and four persons. During the French and Indian War he served as Chaplain in Captain Benjamin Pratt's company, and was with them in their march to Saratoga, where he often preached. He was a man of unusual ability, and an earnest and devout Christian pastor, who did much to build up his church and increase the spirituality of its members during his forty years of service. He was remarkable for his bodily health and activity, and it is stated that at the age of eighty years he would spring upon his horse unaided and take long rides to visit his parishioners. Probably on account of his great age, he gave up his pastorate about the year 1793, and until the year 1805 there seems to have been no regular pastor, Mr. Hinds preaching occasionally as his strength would allow. At his death, April 29, 1812, he conveyed to the church the parsonage which he had built and the land upon which it stands.

James Meade was ordained its pastor over which EBENEZER HINDS presided. Their church edifice was purchased and removed by them from East Freetown, and upon the dissolution of the church was occupied by the Second Baptist Church. It was destroyed by fire , May 19, 1798.

Notes:

He arrived Boston, Massachusetts on 18 September 1634 on board the ship Griffin. Richard Haynes, his brother, was on the ship with him. They both settled at Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. Governor Winthrop's journal entry of Sept. 18, 1634 records The Griffin and another ship now arriving with about 200 passengers. Mr. Lathrop and Mr. Sims, two godly ministers coming in the same ship. {S1}.

Prior to 1644, William Haynes purchased jointly with Richard Ingersoll, from John Pease, the Weston Grant, and jointly with Richard Haynes a portion of the Townsend Bishop Grant of 540 acres in the northern end of the Salem Town boundary territory. These interior land areas subsequently became known as Salem Farms, Salem Village and is presently Danvers, Massachusetts. It was a short distance of approximately four miles from Salem (Town). {S1}.

He married Sarah INGERSOLL [F7489] before 1644 in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Richard Ingersoll, his partner in the Weston Grant purchase. This was evidenced by the will of Richard Ingersoll written 21 July 1644. {S1,S2}.

At a General Town Meeting on 7 July 1644 he was appointed, along with several other inhabitants of Salem, to patrol the settlement each Sabbath Day. Each patrol consisting of two men, were instructed to take note of Sabbath breakers and report their names to the authorities. {S1}.

William and Richard Haynes sold one third of their Townsend Bishop Grant land to Abraham Page in 1647, who in turn sold it to Simon Bradstreet, the Governor of Massachusetts. William and Richard were held equally responsible in a 1647 court case involving the death of two cows belonging to their adjacent neighbor, the Honorable Simon Bradstreet. On 29: 4th month: 1648, William and Richard sold the other two-thirds shares of the Townsend Bishop Grant land to John Porter, who also bought the other third from Simon Bradstreet. {S1}.

Charles W. Upham suggested in his book, Salem Witchcraft, that because of the great purchasing power of William and Richard Haynes, and the respect demonstrated toward them, they were persons of great means and influence. Mr. Upham also mentioned that although the family of William Haynes had always been somewhat of a mystery, it was stated in the family papers of the Ingersoll family, recently uncovered around 1865, that William Haynes was a brother of John Haynes, the Governor of Massachusetts, founder of Hartford, and Lieut-Governor of Connecticut. This theory of ancestry has often been examined and contemplated by Haynes descendants, but so far has not been proven true. Gov. John Haynes came to New England from Copford Hall, Essex County on the first sailing of the "Griffin" in 1633. He removed in May 1637 to Connecticut. {S1}.

On 25: 9 month: 1645, William Haynes gave a power-of-attorney to Thomas Haynes Col, a merchant living at the White Bear in Basin Street in London, to receive a debt of 28 lbs. of Thomas Perkins of Dunstable in Bedfordshire chandlor, and with power to substitute another attorney. (Aspinwalls Notes of Early Boston). {S1}.

This transaction indicates a possible relationship between William Haynes of New England, to Thomas Haynes who has been reported in references (and incorrectly) as migrating shortly afterwards and settling 1658 in Maine and later at Amesbury, Massachusetts. On the other hand, it is not imprudent to suggest Thomas Haynes was a relative of William Haynes. Apparently Charles Banks used Aspinwalls Notes to pinpoint Dunstable, Bedfordshire as the homeplace of William and Richard Haynes, Topographical Dictionary of English Emigrants to New England, Bedfordshire page 1. {S1}.

This book was published in 1937, after the death of Mr. Banks, and was compiled using the manuscripts in his library. The reference given for William Haynes and Richard Haines was "Aspinwall". This document, which is found in Aspinwall's Notes, however, does not indicate William Haynes was actually from Dunstable, Bedfordshire but was attempting to collect a debt at Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Thomas Perkins, on the other hand, was a resident of Dunstable, Bedfordshire. I assume Charles Banks was referring to the records that William Aspinwall kept at Boston as notary from 1644 to 1651 which were published in a volume entitled A Volume Relating to the Early History of Boston Containing the Aspinwall Notorial Records from 1644 to 1651, Boston Record Commissioners' Reports 32, (Boston, 1903). Mr. Banks was a notable expert in Emigrant genealogy and had searched throughout English parish for records concerning nearly 3,000 emigrants. {S1}.

It has also been suggested that either William Haynes or Richard Haynes was the father of Thomas Haynes of Amesbury, Massachusetts. This statement is unlikely, although it is possible they were related in some other way; perhaps cousins. {S1}.

Thomas Haynes of Amesbury, Massachusetts, received land in Amesbury 1661, 1666, and 1675, and made an Oath of Allegiance at Amesbury in 1677. He married Martha Barnard, of Salisbury on 26 December 1667 and died in 1683 leaving a widow and children, Thomas, Eleanor, Aquila, John and Mary. Several of his children settled in York, Maine. It is doubtful he was the same Thomas Haynes who appeared in earlier records of Casco Bay, Massachusetts/Maine who eventually retreated to Lynn, Massachusetts. {S1}.

Richard Haynes, brother of William is seen 1640, 1645, 1665 and 1669 in the Salem Town records. He resided in a settlement identified as the "Cape Ann" and "Bass River" side of Salem, known as Beverly and made his Oath of Allegiance 3 December 1677 at Beverly. {S1}.

He died after 14 NOV 1649 in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts; and was buried before 13 November 1651 in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. {S2}.

William Haynes' name is listed as a full communicant of the First Church of Salem in 1647-1648 and Sarah was listed in April 1648. Sometime after the initial entry date, and in a different handwriting, the word "dead" was inserted following William's name. It is believed he died in the early part of 1651, or if it occurred before March 25th, according to the old calendar, in the later part of the year 1650. {S1}.
